It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of my beloved husband, who passed peacefully in Guelph in his 89th year.
Survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Gloria Blanche. Beloved and caring father of Wendy, Stephen and Christopher. Predeceased by son Greg (Ann Marie). Loving grandfather of six and great-grandfather of three. Al was a dear brother and friend to many.
Al was a great, amazing and kind man. His kindness spread all over the world. He joined the Royal Canadian Navy at the age of 16. He retired from Union Gas after 39 years of service which he loved. His smile and great attitude will forever live in our hearts. He will never be forgotten.
As per Al’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at a later date for immediate family and close friends. Arrangements entrusted to the WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL 519-822-0051 / www.wallcustance.com.
“I miss you already, you are the wind beneath my wings. I love you forever Al. Love, Gloria XO.”
A tree will be planted in memory of Albert G. Blanche in the Wall-Custance Memorial Forest.
