I miss my cowboy friend, our long chats about life, love, horses and corrupt governments! Haha! Al would have lots to say about what's happening today but he would end with a few words of encouragement that portray the thought that... it'll surely will get better as it couldn't get much worse! Haha! Miss you friend; wishing for much happiness for Pat, family, and friends.

Al was decent, kind and generous. No need to expand upon that. 

Cowboys and Fishermen

Both work hard to provide.

Family safety is everything.

Al was a special blend of pure Brain and unrelenting braun but mostly brain.

And a man that loved his family and his animals.

He had a vision and he will be sorely missed.

For those in the know, he's on the top of the NoRehire Plan now.

I have all the respect in the world for Al and what he achieved during his tenure. I really enjoyed working with him. He was an inspiration as well as an innovator especially towards safety. I'm sure he saved his employers many $$ with his dedication towards safety but I know he was tough but fair.

Best regards to all his family.

In my books, he was a true gentleman of the west.

God Bless him.

All the Best,

He is sorely missed.


Our condolences to Pat and family. There were many times when Al and I crossed paths during our tenure at Dow. He was always a good man to work with. I am sure that he built quite a legacy within your family as well. 

Lean and Allan and family, Pat and family

Al and I worked together at Dow Chemical, for many years he was my go-to sounding board for a word of wisdom or thoughtful advice. Al was a kind, genuine man who was always there for you. 
My sincere condolences to his  family and friends.

Al was the perfect gentleman and highly respected. I am so honored to have known him. The world was a better place because of him. My condolences to his friends and family.

Deepest sympathy to all of the family. Gordon and I got to know Al at the Chuckwagon and Chariot races. He was the last one to take Gordon on a short road trip before his passing in 2016.
Sincere sympathy from all of my family!

Pat,
So Sorry to hear of the passing of Al.  We spent many great year racing chuckwagon & chariots all over Alberta.  Not only was the racing great fun but getting together after around the campfire with everyone was what memories are made of.

So sorry to hear of Al’s passing. A big man, who had a compassionate heart for those that needed a hand up. He also could be stern with those that needed it, but always fair. A true Albertan in every way. 
He will be remembered as a mentor to many and I count myself as one. 

Very sorry to hear about Al’s passing. I met Al back in the mid 70’s at Dow Chemical.

My sincere condolences to Al’s immediate and extended families.

 Pat and Family

So sorry to hear of Al’s passing. He was an inspiring man who had many talents. We shared many interesting talks over the years and I was so fortunate to have known Al for over 52 years. It will not be easy to get through these tough times but rest assured there are a lot of friends that are embracing you in their thoughts. Best wishes

When you recall the many memories of great times together we hope that will bring a smile to replace the sadness of your loss.

K.A. Matier, a true dear friend and gentleman that will be missed but never forgotten!  There's many a horse and rodeo friend in ranchers heaven who have been waiting for you....Al was a true friend, someone you could depend on when you were down and out; someone who would pick you up, dust you off, and give you confidence to try again! He too, was a true gentleman who knew how to be soft and gentle, who knew how to be stern, strong, and steady in a storm! Kenneth Al Matier for me was this person! Till we meet again, Rest in Peace my cowboy friend! God Bless Pat and Family!

P.O.Hernon


HI Pat and Family

We are so sorry to hear the loss of Al.  As time goes on we hope the memories you have will give you the strength you need.  Take care
Joyce  Schoepp and Darlene Mattson

We are so sad to hear of Al’s passing. He was one of those rare men who just seemed to instinctively know how to do pretty much anything. When I think of Al, it’s always associated with some sort of activity - fixing, building, working at something around the acreage ... and most recently, taking his great- grandsons for full-throttle scooter rides around the yard this past summer - not sure who was more  happy that day, the kids or Al! 
Thanks for taking us in as extended family. 
Love from Linda and Gerry
