When I think of the Victoria Fringe I always think of Allan and his lovely smile and book of raffle tickets at the club each night. He was one of the first people to make Dan and I feel so welcome back in 2007 and he is very much part of the reason we love to return to Victoria whenever we can. Very sadly missed and a huge loss to the Arts community. x x
I will really miss Al. We worked together for many years and we had many good times together especially during the annual mining conferences. When joking around he always had a good comeback. He will always be in my thoughts.
I had the pleasure of working with Al at the Save On Foods Memorial Centre. He was always sure to swing by the ticketing office for a hello and was a welcome addition to any concert or game night. He was a real professional and all-around good guy. No longer at the arena, I have the comfort of remembering it how it was with Al there. Jen, I am so sorry for your loss. To you and your family and all friends of Al, I wish peace and happy memories always.
Dear Alec, Carlie and Family,
We were saddened to hear of the loss of your father, father-in-law and grandpa. Please accept our condolences. The really nice thing about this is that he was surrounded by love in his last days and that he is now in Heaven with our Lord with his everlasting life .
Look after yourselves and know that he is where he is at peace and longed to be.

First met you while you were taking photos for AV, from then on brief encounters here and there, but man you leave a great impression. You have such a warm and accepting charisma, such a comforting and positive vibe. When Santa Claus is off from his gig, I think he becomes you.
Thank you for looking after all of us, don’t forget to laugh on our shows, jokes, and our lives whenever you catch it out there.
Again I wish I had more chance to hang with you and learn from the wiser.
Whenever you have some breaks from the euphoria, happiness, and peace, think of us, watch over us please.
See you later and see you around, Allan, Al. We miss you.
