Mrs. Purvis and family,
Please accept my condolences from my family to yours. As a former employee of Waterloo, I will always remember, most, the handshake at christmas, and the "Good work" from Mr. Purvis himself. It always made me feel more part of the team than any other time of year. I am deeply sadden by this news and will always remember this "Great Man".
Sincerely,
James White and family

Dear Jeanne and family,
We feel your pain in our hearts. Losing Al leaves a huge gap in all of our lives.
We have such happy memories of times we spent in his company. He was a gracious host, and a fun guy to be around. His comments to our children, when they were young, always got them giggling, especially "You're full of prunes!" There were so many "Al-isms"
over the years that we will always treasure.
We'll miss you and your sense of humour, Al. RIP.

Mac & Dorothy Matheson offer our condolences to Jeanne & fmly. Mac remembers Randy from Dealership & I certainly remember Jeanne,as she sold us our house when we moved to Edmonton in 1978.She was very kind in giving us 2 lawn chairs as our furniture hadn't arrived yet. Thanks again for your kindness Jeanne.

Uncle Al: you shared your love of life with all of us. I remember your walk and the way you swung your hands; my new husband commented that "after hearing everyone speak about your uncle, I wish I'd met him, he sounded like someone special that you don't meet very often in your life." That was my Uncle Al.
All my wishes to the Purvis family;

Mrs Purvis and family:
Was very sorry to hear of your loss.
I looked up to and admired your husband and your dad, as I babysat all of you many years ago. He was a wonderful man, very kind and thoughtful. May all your happy memories help you through this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy

Dear Randall, Maureen & Jeannie:
My sincere condolences to you and your entire family. Your father gave me the opportunity to ignite an entreprenurial spirit for which I will always be grateful. His wonderful personality, accomplishments, and contributions are legendary in the auto industry. Thanks for allowing me to be a small part of Waterloo Mercury.

Mrs. Purvis and family-
Mr. Purvis was a huge part of my childhood and I will cherish the many memories our families shared at all the Waterloo functions, etc. I'm glad we had a chance to meet again at the 2001 induction into the Hall of Fame. My dad (Dave Miller) will have company in heaven now!

Al will always be in my heart. He always made time to come and see me when he came to the dealership and always had a warm smile. I can't imagine what the family must be feeling when you loose a man so great.
My heart and prayers go out to you all.
