'Friends Not Forgotten'
Obituary:
Alan passed away suddenly at
his home in Fort McMurray, AB, on Thursday, December 22, 2011. Alan was born in
Beausejour, MB.
He is survived by his mother, Stella (nee Woligroski), and
stepfather, Victor Modjeski. He will be dearly missed by his sister, Judy
(Denis) Robbie; brother, Tom (Linda); niece, Kate (Matt) Robinson; nephew,
Jeff; aunts, Lena, Anne, Adele, and Teenie as well as stepbrothers,
stepsisters, cousins, and their families. Al was predeceased by his
father, Nicholas Garbolinski.
Al successfully pursued a number of career
interests. He served in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for several years and
was posted in a number of towns in Alberta.
He then purchased and ran service
stations in Pochahontas and Hinton, AB. After running his own business, he
worked in mines in Hinton, Sparwood, and Fort McMurray, where he was currently
employed.
Alan
was happiest when he was outdoors and getting together with family and friends.
He loved hiking and camping. During his yearly trips to Manitoba to visit his
family, he always made a special stop in Lowland and the Whiteshell, two of his
favorite places. Al was, by nature, very kind-hearted and giving and his
numerous friends and family were often recipients of his generosity. He always
made the effort to stay in contact with his many friends and family across Canada
and the USA.
Al was an excellent host and tour guide for all his visitors. We
will greatly miss him. Divine Liturgy will be held at 10:30 a.m. on January 5,
2012, at Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church, Beausejour, MB. A service of
interment will be held at a later date.
Flowers are gratefully declined.
