As next-door neighbours, yes, we do indeed miss Alan. We always had a cheerful talk over the hedge and Alan always had some funny stories to share with us.  And we know that the whole neighbourhood misses Alan too.  Joan & Steve Montague

Truly sorry to hear of Alan’s passing. As his neighbour living at #60 Applewood Crescent, he would always stop and chat while out walking with his little dog.  Alan, being from Northern Ireland and me being from Southern Ireland, we always chatted about our growing up in the “homeland”. He loved his little dog and while we were chatting his dog would be looking up at Alan,  as if to say, less talk and more walk. May you Rest In Peace Alan until we meet again.

Dear Phyllis and Family 
We are so very sorry to hear of Alan’s passing. Such a very sad loss for your family. His sense of humour was always evident whether it was with a family member or a friend. Alan was a fun guy. Yes many will miss Alan but many will recall many fabulous memories shared over the years. Please accept our sincerest sympathies. Alan will be cherished in your hearts forever. 

Because we are next-door neighbours with Phyllis & Alan we have known Alan approximately 25 years.  We could never ask for a more wonderful family to have as neighbours.  Whenever we would see Alan while spending time in our backyard, he was a delight to chat with.  Steve and Alan both had a common interest in old British cars. 
We will miss him greatly.

Growing up on Tutton Place the whole neighborhood knew each other. My sisters and I were fortunate to have great neighbours like the Hamiltons, and it was especially great because their children were close to the same age as us. It was a wonderful time to grow up and people like Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton were a big part of that, in addition to their children.

What I remember about Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton were how kind they were. I delivered papers on the street so I would often run into Mr. Hamilton. He always had a smile and a friendly word.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family in their loss, and I thank the whole family for the great memories of childhood they gave me.

Alan was such a warm and friendly man and we feel fortunate to have known him. Our thoughts are with you, Phyllis, Lorraine, Glenda, Derek and families. Sending you our love. Xo

My thoughts and many prayers to the Hamilton family. I worked with Al at Allen-Bradly. As others have said, Al always had a story to tell. My fond memories of Al are how he always seemed to have a smile on his face and it was no trouble to take the time to speak or help.

Phyllis, we were very saddened to hear that Al passed. I feel as though every time we arrived to visit my parents next door, Al would surely be outside working in the yard, and he always stopped to say hello and ask how we were.  He sure kept an impeccable yard and garden! It won't be the same to look over and not see him. We're thinking of you and your family through these days. Warmly, Scott and Lisa


I worked with Al at Rockwell Automation. He was such a pleasant, and sweet man who always had a hello or a how are you doing as he passed by. I first met him when I worked out in the factory and then when I went to work on switchboard, he would always come out to have a chat. My condolences go out to the family!  My prayers are with you all as I am sure his loss will be a very difficult one!  Hold his memories close to your heart!  🙏🙏🙏

I remember always looking forward to our  Christmas' visits at Alan & Phyllis house when I was young. I loved going to see them & play with the kids. Alan was a wonderful man.  So kind,  loving & always had a good sense of humor & he kept it & kept people laughing & smiling any time you bumped into to him. I'm heart broken to hear of his passing. Phyllis, Lorraine,  Glenda & Derek please know we are thinking of you all & your families & sending much love & prayers to you in this very sad time & always. Keep your  memories close to your heart & take care of each other. Alan will surely be missed 💔❤

Happy memories of our dear friend Alan.
You will always be in my thoughts
Sending all my love to Phyllis and Family.

I worked with Al on a number of projects while at Rockwell automation. He was always pleasant and always ready with a joke. He was one of those who made the day a little brighter. I can't think of him without it bringing a smile to my face. My wife Lesley and I send the family our condolences.

I am so sorry to hear this news, he was a gas man and wonderful dad and husband, I had great fun once when we mashed Grapes to make wine, up all night but I never got to sample the end result.  My sympathies to the family.

Deepest condolences to Phyllis and the family. Al worked with my Dad, D'Arcy Moore, at AB.
Always had a great laugh when I was in town and ran into Al and Phyllis. We shared the great memory back when I taught Al to swim. I was a teenager and taught his daughters swimming as well.  Not sure why, maybe his kind nature, but this was a bond we had and always enjoyed sharing the story with him. 


To Phyllis and family I'm so sorry to hear about Alan he was a wonderful workmate and a great soccer coach to my son Christopher. Many happy times  at Allen Bradley's for that Sunny smile of Alans'.RIP

Al was always quick to laugh and share a story.  Very proud of his family and eager to share any moments spent with them. Couldn't have asked for a better person to support the shop floor at Allen - Bradley. Will certainly be missed by his friends and family.
Rest in peace Al. 


Thinking of you Phyllis at this sad time ,we have some happy memories of times spent with you ,sending love to you and your family. Stella & Dave 

I'm saddened to hear of Al's passing.  Thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you mourn the loss of a wonderful man.  With deepest sympathies, Charlie and Sandra Principato.

Where do I start. Our family first met Al many years ago . My little brother married Al’s lovely daughter Glenda. Al and Phyllis are the extended family of the Norrie family. Many backyard parties at my home and at my parents trailer on Lake Huron. We could sit and listen to Al and his jokes all day long. We will miss you Al. But we will all be together soon. I know that mom and dad are there to welcome you. Love the Norrie and Howe family

Al was such a welcoming and kind man, with a wonderful sense of humor.  Quick with a smile and joke, he always brightened your day. Our condolences to Al's family and friends. 

I always enjoys our little talks about rugby and the world at large.   I left him my All Black's shirt when I moved to a different office.   He was a lovely man 

I am very sorry to hear of Al’s passing. Al was quite the character at Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation, he had a great sense of humour and quick whit. I worked with Al on some special projects while I was working in the wood shop/shipping. Al told me that he was interviewed and hired by my grandfather Noble Lytle when Al started his career. Please except our deepest condolences.

John & Patricia Lytle

Al always had something funny for us to laugh about over coffee! I could always count on his mischievous smirk as we passed in the hall at A-B. My condolences to all of the family and friends. Gone but never forgotten.

Al was a great,fun wee man always had a funny story to tell me. I will miss running into him with Phyliss out shopping and reporting back to Lorraine that i ran into them. My condolences to Phyliss and her family he will be missed.
