Al leaves to mourn, his loving daughter Sue (Rod) Skrip of Calgary, his son Robert (Kim) Rossow of Seattle, his granddaughter, Lauren Rossow and his grandson, Chris Skrip; as well as many, many nieces, nephews and friends in New York, Calgary and elsewhere.

The family would like to thank all the nurses and caregivers at the Beverly Centre, Midnapore for the love and support they provided to Al.
