In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
PAYMENT, Allan J. - For 40 years he served our country as a proud member of the Canadian Navy but this is a battle he could not win. Al passed away on April 7 after a short battle with cancer. He was deeply respected by those who served with him and remembered for his dedication to the Navy, his great stories and sense of humour. Al loved woodworking, travelling to Mexico and going out in the motor home with his wife Joanne. He was a devoted son, father and friend. Al leaves to remember him his wife Joanne, three siblings and mother in Ontario, his children Angela (Joe), Allyson and Jake and stepsons Jason (Selena) and Ryan (Jen), five grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He will be truly missed by everyone who loved and knew him.
No more Watch to stand, old sailor. You are outward bound on an ebbing tide, Eight bells has rung and last Watch done, Now a new berth waits you on the other side,
