He worked at Winnie’s Arcade in Brooks in the ’80s, as a school bus driver in Medicine Hat for 20 years and at the time of his passing REDI & CORE as a caregiver. He was an avid Tigers fan since childhood. Coffee at Tim’s with friends was a daily social event, 2 cream 2 sweetener.
Allen’s family & his friends meant the world to him. Allen wore his heart on his sleeve and would give the shirt off his back to anyone. He will be missed.

His laugh, smile and hugs will be greatly missed by everyone.
We’ll miss you Uncle Turd.
Very sorry to hear of Allen’s passing. He was so very pleasant and always smiling whenever we saw each other. Conversations were with Allen were always lighthearted.
Was so sorry to hear of Al’s passing. Lots of memories of having him as a bus driver, with lots of fist bumps and him calling me Blondie. Loved getting to see him at the Hockey Games and having conversations with Al frequently.
Al will be greatly missed.
