Allan William Chalmers

Al was born in Brandon, Manitoba and moved to Victoria in 1966. Al grew up in South Fairfield and attended Sir James Douglas Central, then graduated from Victoria High. Al started working at Doman’s after school, at the age 15 (West Fraser, Revelstoke, Rona) and spent almost 40 years working in the building supply industry working his way to a management position. Al loved working on home renovation projects and the excellence of his workmanship is evident in any project he took on. Al loved fishing, tying his own flies, and riding his Kawasaki (Connie). Al will be greatly missed by his family, friends, co-workers and all who knew him for his quiet manner, sense of humor and dedication.
