The family of Alfred Anthony Todd is very sad to announce his passing on November 27, 2010, after a brief illness. He is deeply missed by Dorothy, his wife of 59 years; son, David; daughter, Dale (Bill Mosher); beloved grandchildren, Matthew, Caitlin and Elizabeth Todd (all of Ottawa), and Nathan Mosher; dear friends, Jackie Melville, Jeanne Lesoway and Wayne Fisher. Al was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1926 and emigrated to Vancouver in 1940. He joined the Merchant Service, and then the Royal Canadian Navy in 1945. He retired in 1970 as a Chief Petty Officer Storeskeeper and retired permanently in 1988 from the Queen’s Printer. In retirement, his passions were gardening, reading, and especially cooking.
Memorial Service will be held at St. Patrick’s Church, 2060 Haultain, at 2:00 pm on Friday, December 3, 2010. Donations may be made to St. Vincent de Paul, the Cancer Society, or a charity of your choice. Thank you to the health team of RJH West 3 for the excellent care. Love you, Dad. We miss your soup.

My heart goes out to you and yours at this difficult time. No matter the age, you are never ready for the loss of a parent. I’m sure you will keep him close with all the loving memories that you will keep in your heart forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,
Teresa (Morriss)
