Alf is predeceased by his loving wife: Barbara; parents: Margaret Tetreau and Josiah Cooper; sister: Edith Walker; brother: Edwin [Birch] Cooper; and son in law: Jim Wenzel. 

Alf was born and raised on the family farm in Falun, AB. Once married to Barbara his career as a power engineer had them living in various places. Alf and Barb had many memorable experiences during their lifetime together traveling the world with their children while Alf worked for Chevron. Later in life, Alf and Barb returned to the farm in Falun to retire while spending their winters down south. 

Alf was a proud poppa and adored his family. Alf was charming and often the center of attention. Alf’s stories and jokes brought laughter into everyone’s life. Through Alf’s distinguished strength he inspired many to  be determined and hard working. Alf will be forever missed and never forgotten.
