Predeceased by his parents Nora and Fred and his brother John, Al is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Dolores; three children, Leslie of Calgary, Denise and Dave (Diana) of Regina. He was very proud of his five grandchildren, Kyle, Lindsey, Kelsey, Sophia and Nicholas. He is also survived by one sister Eva (Terry) of Toronto; two sisters-in-law; several brothers-in-law as well as several nieces and nephews. Al was very passionate and dedicated to helping others through his company Porter Property Management. Looking after their needs was very important to him.
