Vancouver - Al Patrick passed away on February 7, 2018, at the age of 94. He is survived by his wife of 68 years (Pearl); sons Lance and Lyndon (Ronilda) and grandchildren Vincent, Alex, Alannah, Isabel and Maria-Clara. Al grew up in Saskatchewan during the hard times of the depression where he had to leave school before he graduated to take any job that came his way in order to make ends meet. In the late 1950s he came to British Columbia with his wife Pearl to look for new opportunities. Influenced by Pearl, a school teacher, Al completed high school by correspondence and then obtained a BA and a teaching degree from U.B.C. Al would then work as an English teacher and eventually a counselor at Templeton Secondary School in East Vancouver. Al enjoyed working with the students at Templeton and his goal was to help his students graduate. Outside of school Al invested in real estate, traded stocks and enjoyed travelling with Pearl in their motor home. Al's strong handshake and outlook on life will be missed by all that knew him. Always remembered never forgotten.
