Passed away peacefully at Lanark Heights LTC on Sunday July 10, 2022 at the age of 87 years.

Alan (also known as Al), was a gentle and humble man who could never resist the opportunity to make a terrible pun! He ran his own accounting business for many years, working right into his 80’s! He raised two families, and deeply loved all his children.

Beloved husband and best friend of Dori (nee Greer).  Loving Father of Gail Leutert (Jeff), John (Jo-Jo), Greg, Melody (Greg), Mikhal and Joseph (Lanie). Dear brother of Paul (Betty). He is also survived by Carol Lawson the mother of Jim, Gail, John and Greg, and two grandchildren Laura and Alison and by their mother Alex.

Predeceased by his son Jim, and brothers Art, Ray and Ron, and infant sister, Carol Helen.
​
Cremation has taken place.  A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Alan’s memory to Doctor’s Without Borders.

Messages and condolences may be left for the family at www.trictycremations.com or 591.772.1237. Please visit Alan's obituary notice on Facebook.

Dear Dorie and Family, Such good memories of my times with Alan. Sessions in your home discussing teachings. Times in my apartment sitting on the balcony. A good kind man who shared his love with all.
Thinking of you with love, Pat

Dear Dori. Alan was a very kind and gentle man - a real gentleman.
He shared, on many occasions, his love of family, community and of course Swedenborg’s writings. What a lovely legacy to leave.
Our sympathy goes out to you and your family.
