Allen George White

   Allen George White, 88 years of age, of Bellevue, Alberta, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, at 11:55pm.

   Al is survived by his loving wife, Ruth; his children Alf (Shelley), Shelley, and Roger (Shibanee); his brother Bill (Eileen); and many grandchildren, nieces and nephews who surrounded him with love. He was predeceased in death by his sons, Rick and Ron; his wife of more than 20 years, Jean; by Margo, his second wife of over 20 years; and by his siblings, Gloria, Betty Ann and Richard.

   Born in Hillcrest on December 13, 1933, Al was someone who loved unconditionally, was active and engaged in all that he did, and who always took a practical approach to life. Whether it was his commitment to the Royal Canadian Airforce, running the local grocery store, launching a new and successful company, wearing multiple hats in the oil and gas sector or countless other endeavours, Al was passionate about adventure – doing things and doing them well. He was extremely active in his community, particularly with the Blairmore Lions Club, and gladly volunteered uncountable hours. He was an avid golfer, hunter, curler and bowler, and was always up for watching a sports game, be it baseball, hockey or football. He had a love of story telling and making people laugh always with a twinkle in his eye. He will be deeply missed, and always fondly remembered. His presence and his love will endure.

   The family thanks the many people who visited with Al and who ensured he knew how loved he was and is. A graveside service will be held at the Hillcrest Union Cemetery in Crowsnest Pass on Saturday, September 17^th, 2022 at 11:00am with dear friend Pastor Al Robinson presiding. A reception will follow at the Bellevue Senior Center. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Al’s name to The Kidney Foundation of Canada.
