He is survived and will be missed by his brother John Tripp and sister Jean Konka. He is predeceased by his parents and brother Bruce. He is also fondly remembered by his nephew and nieces, Stephen, Laurie, Wendy, Joanne and Tracie.
As a Vice Principal for York Region Board of Education, Al was liked, admired, and respected by all the students and teachers he worked with. He was known for his kindness, dedication as well as his sense of humour and infectious laugh.
We are deeply grateful for his Hollandview family who became his second family and in particular, Jackie and Venus.
We also would like to thank Dr Rahim, Dr Baguio and the team at the Stronach Cancer Center for helping guide us through this journey.
