Picture
Beloved father, grandpa, brother, and friend passed away peacefully at home on October 24th, 2020 at the age of 67.

Predeceased by loving daughter Kelly, and parents Ronald and Iris. He will be greatly missed by loving children Mark and Becky (Sol), brother Dave (Marie), and sisters Shirley (Dave) and Sue (Joe). Cherished grandpa to Karrington, Beau, Brandon, Courtney, Derek, Brittney, Austin, April, Sophie, and Oliver.
 
Our hearts are heavy with loss, but he is now free of pain and reunited with his daughter. Allen lived a full life with no regrets and was ready for his next big adventure. He will be best remembered for his larger than life laugh, love of adventure, love of family, and big heart.
 
“You can do anything you put your mind to.”
 
At Allen’s request no services will be held. A celebration of life will take place at a later time. Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Please visit Allen's obituary notice on Facebook.

Al, I know the faith you had in our lord Jesus. As much as you’ll be missed I know for a fact you’re in a better place with no pain or sadness or troubles because I share that same faith. Enjoy your walk with the Lord

I knew Al from working at Windsor Wafers. He taught me to drive the fork lift. He always smiled at work (every day). He had a laugh like no other. He loved his family.
Fly high Al with no pain.

Wow it only seems like yesterday when I would see you on you on your walks now God has gained another Angel. I worked with Al at Windsor Wafers for many years and his up beat personality made that place fun. He was always laughing and smiling. Always made us laugh and will never forget his laugh. RIP my friend. My deepest condolences to his family

I've know Al since about 1970. I could never help but laugh along with his infectious laugh. The type of laugh that can only come from a good soul. One specific thing I've never forgot is when he'd look at you with a lopsided grin, ask you if you wanted to fight then start dancing around like a boxer with rabies. Brushing the side of his nose with his thumb once in a while. God bless your soul Al Garratt. Rest in peace.
