I am so saddened by the news of Alf\’s passing and wanted to convey my deepest sympathy to you on your difficult loss. I left CUPE in 2009 after working many years for the union and met Alf when he was a member and local activist. He participated in a course I organized–one that took place in Toronto to introduce a small group of members and staff to different ways of doing union work. We remained in contact since then and it was always so wonderful to meet up at conventions or functions of one kind or another. He was always so full of life, so open-hearted and so kind and generous. I feel so fortunate to have known him.
