Condolence: FROM OUR FIRST MEETING IN GRADE 10 AT GLEBE I KNEW AL WAS A SPECIAL PERSON AND WAS DESTINED TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS. ALTHOUGH OUR PATHS DIDN'T CROSS OFTEN AFTER COLLEGE DAYS, WE OCCASIONALLY CAUGHT UP ON OUR BUSY LIVES. HE WAS TRULY AN AWESOME MAN AND A GREAT FRIEND. YOU WILL BE SINCERLY MISSED BUT WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY THOUGHTS. ED

Condolence: Although I am deeply saddened by Alan's passing, it has been a privilege and honour to have worked with and known Alan for so long. I admired his strong values as a Public Servant and as a family man. We remained friends after his retirement and looked forward to our annual luncheon, along with our dear friend Sheila Sojonky,to share stories of our kids, grandkids and past year's adventures. I will miss those and I will miss Alan forever. To Christine and family, my sincerest and deepest sympathy. Love, Sue

Condolence: Heartfelt sympathies and deepest condolences for your loss from your friends and colleagues at the Labour Program.

Condolence: We were all enriched by Alan. So while we write in sorrow and condolence at his loss, we write also with a feeling of privilege at having been his friends. We know that you, the family to which he was "papa" loved him, were loved by him and will miss his loving and guiding presence. He instilled in you - and everyone - a sense of fun and enjoyment combined with both public and private responsibility which ranges over all our lives. But to us, Alan was most of all a true and deep friend and we share your sadness at his loss. With Alan and you, Christine, we spent so many happy hours in the lovely town house in Anghieri. We trembled in pleasurable fear as Alan took on the Italian highway system and Italian drivers. We gasped as Alan whipped the Nymark VW Golf over precipitous Tuscan switchbacks. In our adventures together, Alan was the initiator, the adventurer. We enjoyed countless evenings of fine wine (chosen and lectured upon by Alan), fine food (prepared by Alan) and fine conversation (guided by Christine) with others of the Nymarks' close friends. We travelled, we talked, we dined, we drank. Our own enjoyment of life was hugely enhanced by our time together over the years. We will miss Alan so much and we know that you, the family will miss him so much more. His life was too short but we were all lucky to have known him as long as we did.

Condolence: My heartfelt condolences to Alan's family. Alan was an inspiration. He had an incredible ability to offer insight and advice drawn from his deep experience and knowledge, while also taking the time to listen, tell great stories and laugh.

Condolence: As a fellow Marmiton Alan will be missed. Always enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. Please accept our most sincere condolences on your loss.

Condolence: I read of Alan's death with great sadness and fond memories of our time together on the Royal Commission. He was essential to the work we did in accomplishing NAFTA and will be remembered as a great Canadian. Adrian and I send our very warm regards to Christine and the family.

Condolence: Our deepest sympathies to you Christine and your family. Alan was a remarkable man, always smiling. He will be missed Carole & Richard

Condolence: To Christine and family. My heartfelt condolences on your loss, far too early. Alan’s life was truly well lived. He left his mark in so many places and so many ways. Whether it was public service, his family or his post-retirement interests, there was always true energy and passion in everything Alan said and did. His intellectual curiosity and love of learning always both impressed and inspired me. I will sorely miss him.

Condolence: We learned this sad news of Alan with heavy hearts. We send our prayers your way, Christine, at this trying time for you and your family. Please accept our sincere condolences. It was a privilege to have met you, Alan, and had opportunity to cook together, break breads and share many wines at the table of Les Marmitons. We will miss you.
