My Dad

Al in the Van-Craft which I restored for him


Nature will take a back seat this week as I remember my father. Alan Frank Mann died peacefully this morning here in Wallaceburg.

He inspired me to do many things and achieve my goals in life. My other passion, boats, was a direct result of his influence.

He always asked me what he saw on my outings, and recently as Sunday May 24, he asked what I saw at Point Pelee.

His favourite birds were orioles and tanagers and he always told me about seeing them when he came back from golfing.

He did so much for the community, there is not enough space here to tell you about it.

It was tough dealing with his illness the last few weeks, but he put up a good fight right to the end.

I will miss you Dad!
