Allan William Woodall
Allan William Woodall passed away peacefully at home on Monday, October 13, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. He was 82.
Born on September 25, 1943, in Hamilton, Ontario, Allan dedicated a significant part of his life to serving his country. He was a proud Air Force Veteran, serving with distinction from 1962 to 1998. Allan continued his community service as a member of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Allan's memory will be forever cherished by his beloved wife, Barb Woodall and their combined family. He was a devoted father to Karen (Bruce) Anderson, James (Rebecca) Woodall, Mandy Witteveen, Angela (Jason) Gabel, Sabrina (Aaron) McConnell and James (Kristy) McConnell.
He took immense pride in his role as a grandfather and great-grandfather, leaving behind several grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were the light of his later years. Al truly was a family man with many nieces and nephews that filled his heart with love.

Till we meet again
You had the best moustache, one that would make any moustachio enthusiast jealous. You were the best “Old Guy” out there, with a mischievous smile and a single eyebrow raise that could say more than words ever could. I’ll miss enjoying an IPA with you, sharing laughs, and watching the pure delight on your face when saw saw your kids and grandkids doing something they love. I’ll miss you, Old Guy. Love, Kristy.
amazing friend full of advice and my mentor. You are missed . BLUE SKIES
“ Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”
We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Al forever and think of him every time we cheer on the Oil Kings, enjoy a beverage around the campfire at Kacikewin, party at the Luau and Octoberfest, sing along at the dinner theatre and drive the cart at the golf course. We will cherish these memories forever.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Please remember that we are here for you always, anytime, whatever you need.
Barb, my condolences on Al’s passing. I hope family and friends will support you in your grieving.
My heart felt sympathies to all the family. Al was a good man and will be missed. Take special care of each other.
I knew Al through the Veterans Association Food Bank in Edmonton. His smile and grand moustache would brighten anyone’s day.
Al gave me some sage advice I will never forget. “Use the good china and crystal”.
Barb and family, may your memories of Al ease the pain of his passing. It was an honour to have made his acquaintance.

Gene & I send our heartfelt Condolences I worked with Al many years ago just a great guy always Happy Go Lucky Madeline Davenport
Met Al thru his wife Barb. He allowed me to be a part of his family. Al was a good man. Al also had a temper, would get frustrated with the computer. He kept clicking the mouse and not having the patience to wait for the computer to catch up. Lol
He was always a good sport, would be our DD on road trips, even when I didn’t remember driving somewhere. He cared, he loved and he lived. His greatest love was his family, friends and the passion for the military. The stories are endless. My Alsy Palsy, you will be very missed. Will love and remember you always.
We are so sorry to hear of Al’s passing. We knew Al and family in Falconbridge Ont and then here in Calgary. He was a great individual and strong friend. .Our deepest condolences to the family.
RIP friend, you will be missed, Coffee breaks at Tims with you and Barb were always filled with good stories and lots of laughs. My condolences to Barb and family.
Barb, remembering good times with The All Tartans Band with you and Al !
I met Al and Barb at Saint Albert Legion Tuesday night darts
Excellent at darts and a great sportsman .as far as I can remember I couldn’t beat Al at darts …so damn good. I was also fortunate to be on 2 house boat trips with Al .the meals he cooked for 16 house boaters truly delicious like being at a 5star restaurant! Seriously fantastic Chef!!!
Regretfully I’ll be away Sunday November 2 out of country
My sincere condolences to Barb and family .
Barb, “it’s been a long while”. Please accept my deepest condolences, to you Barb, family and friends. I have such good memories of you both. Al cut that opening in my wall to see into my living room and out the front window still to this day. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
