Mike , Jos, and family's having gone thru this I know that only time will heal the loss.I still talk to my parents from time to time. I truly believe that is a good thing. We got to grow up with such wonderful people teaching us how to be good people. Be thankful for all the lessons learned. Rick
Al was the coolest grandpa I have ever known. He came to all of our softball games when we were kids and warmed up with us. It blew my mind that a grandpa could run around and throw like that!! It gives me warmth to know he has reunited with Renn. Much love to the Tupper family
sorry to see Al passed away my condolence to the entire family
To my husband Alvin,
How bless we were to have had all those years of being able to learn about each other with respect, tenderness and true love. Every moment past together were very special.
Why does life brings sadness when we get older?
I surely do not understand why.
Perhaps one day I will!
On this very special day ''time'' I hope
that I have become a good person enough
to forgive those who have tried to destroy
what was given to us with the biggest blessing and LOVE of all,
Reine's.............
Alvin's family... it is sad to say goodbye, to not have your dad, grandfather, pal, neighbor at the diner table, at Christmas, at walleye opener, birthdays, celebrations.... sunrises and sunsets. Celebrate his life they way he lived it, big and bold and loud and proud. Godspeed you Tuppers.
From all of us at Meadow Lakes Sr Living - we so enjoyed having your Dad as part of our community. He always had a smile (and joke) and made it a real pleasure to care for him. He was so lucky to have such a dedicated family. I know you will all miss him so much. Thank you for sharing him with us. We will remember him fondly.
Our deepest sympathy to each of you,
Colette and Staff
Dear Steve and Family,
