On behalf of all the Wolverines on Al’s old 445 Sqn (RCAF) I’d like to wish him God speed and great flying up there with some of his old buddies. As one of our earliest squadron members, he will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him and flying alongside during those great, early years in Ottawa and Marville, France.
Sincerest condolences to Gay, Caline and Mark and all other family members.
Per ardua ad astra!
