Alvin Murray ROSS

ROSS - Alvin (Al) Murray With great sadness we announce the passing of our father and grandfather, Al Ross, on November 5th, 2009. He is predeceased by his wife of 59 years, Lorraine (2007), sister Margaret and niece Diana. Al was born in Pritchard, BC on May 4th, 1926 and grew up in the east end of Vancouver. He joined the army after high school and later the Vancouver Fire Department in 1951. He loved his job as well as volunteering his time with the retired Fireman's Golfers, the Firefighter's softball teams, and was a founding member of the Firefighter's Social and Athletic Club at Bonsor. Al retired as District Chief in May 1986. Al enjoyed family gatherings and cherished his "girlies", daughters Cheryl and Cindy (Pat), and granddaughters Carly (Craig), Kristi, and Brittany. He was always very supportive and loved attending his granddaughters sporting events and dance recitals. He is survived by his girls and his brother Howie. Gramps' sense of humour and laughter will be greatly missed by his granddaughters "Bubbly","Fingers" and "The Little One" and his pet cat "Pally". In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Al's memory to the burn unit at Vancouver General Hospital. No service by request. "All the better for you asking." .
