Alf was a logger and truck driver for 40+ years. He was a handyman who built his own houses from start to finish. He was a talented musician who played the guitar primarily, but could pick up nearly any instrument and play it, including harmonica, fiddle and accordion. He loved to fish, hunt and enjoyed providing food for his family.

Alf was an avid reader and loved to tell a joke. His great sense of humor will be missed.

A Memorial Service will take place at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, August 6, 2012 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel with Chaplin Mary Widmer officiating.

A very special thank you to the staff at Pine Grove Care Center who took such good care of him.

In lieu of flowers, kindly make a donation in Alfred's memory to the Parkinson's Society British Columbia.
