Obituary of Albert Arnold

Al's family sadly announces that Al died, suddenly, on March 11th 2007. Al was born in Hamilton on March 19, 1969, and moved to Toronto as a child. He has been a constant source of joy and amazement to everyone who was lucky enough to be a part of his life. He was a wonderful craftsman, an avid cyclist, a reader of Thoreau, a humourist, a traveller and an adventurer. He was adored by his family, and we will miss him terribly ... cherishing every memory we have of him. Al leaves behind his mother Pat Cochrane, his sisters Samantha Arnold and Kazia Slusarenko, their partners Steven Kavanaugh and John Pitts, and was the much loved 'Uncle' to his treasured niece and nephew Georgia (daughter of Samantha and Steve) and Benjamin (son of Kazia and John). Al was much loved by his aunt Barb and uncle Jim Stevenson of Smithville, and by many members of our extended family. Al was predeceased by his father Albert Arnold. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W. MILES CHAPEL, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Eglinton Avenue East) from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday, March 14th. A private funeral will follow the next day. Flowers gratefully declined; we know Al would prefer you to do something special with someone you love to celebrate his precious life.
