My condolences Elvera Nowell and family. I knew Alan since the early 70’s at National/Cargill on plinquet street in St Boniface. I so remember hearing of meeting the love of his life Elvera and the joy of welcoming the new baby boy to their family. Alan & I tried to stayed in touch throughout the years and reminisced at the 25 year club dinners exchanging stories about our kids and others we had worked with. A great shy soft spoken proud man is the Alan i will always remember Rest in Peace my friend.

Alan was one of my first employers when I arrived in Manitoba. He was so easy to get along with, had a great sense of humour and always a twinkle in his eye. We had many laughs and donuts in my short time at Cargill! I had a huge amount of respect for him. Sadly I lost touch with him over the years but often had wondered how he was doing. Sincerest condolences to his family.

My thoughts are with Al’s family, Elvera, Nowell and Susan and their children. Elvera and I have been friends since the 1970’s when we both taught in Grunthal. Visiting at Elvera’s home, I met Al. He was always so inviting and friendly that I just felt at home there. I am also a proud owner of one of Al’s lathed wooden pens. He was such a perfectionist in his work! And I know he loved his family to pieces.

My condolences to Elvira and family on the death of Al. My memory was of the time he demonstrated turning a pen while I watched. It was very nice and I still have it.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alan 20 years ago and to this day I can still hear his laugh and see his contagious smile. Our daily tasks did not often find us in the same circles, however when those circles did overlap, Alan always was the first to jump in to see how we could improve our procedures so everyone could go home safely at the end of the day. I appreciated Alan's leadership and his willing attitude, to roll up his sleeves, to get his hands dirty. We extend our prayers and thoughts to the Alan Holmes family.

My condolences to All's family. I knew Al as the warehouse manager for Cargill in Morris . His honesty and attention to
detail was something I always admired. The level of customer service he gave his customers is all to rare these days.
Rest easy Al.
