CLANEY Charles Alfred – “Al”; September 5, 1928 Toronto, ON – April 3, 2015, White Rock, BC. It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Al Claney, after a brief illness. He left us on April 3, 2015 at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, BC with his loving family by his side. Survived by Iris (nee Bourne), wife of 59 years, his children Leslie (husband David Durnford), Karen, Lynn, and Neal (wife Peg Claney nee Simpson) and grandchildren Ella and Kate Claney. Predeceased by his brothers Sam and John and sisters Jean and Marlene. Al had a successful career with Moore Business Forms Ltd. which spanned 45 years concluding as V.P. of Manufacturing, Europe. Al was plant manager of the Fergus plant for the years 1967 to 1971. A true gentleman, who gained respect of all who met him. Al believed in honesty, hard work and sharing his good fortune. One of his many accomplishments was representing southern Ontario with the Unionville Curling Club at the 1965 Brier in Saskatoon. Al enjoyed numerous activities including fishing (preferably with a fly), hunting, golfing, lawn bowling, bridge and the horses. Many thanks to Dr. Prentice and the staff of the Peace Arch Palliative Care Unit for the compassion and sensitive care they gave to Al in his last days. At the family’s request no service will be held. Donations in Al’s memory can be made to White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society. www.whiterockhospice.org Al, we pray that where you are now the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it. We toast your life with an Irish whiskey. Forever missed and always in our hearts.
