Our heartfelt sympathies go out to all of the Davie family. Alfred was a great influence and mentor in Darrol's younger years. I always tried to give him a hard time but he always ended up with the last "haha". He will be truly missed. You are one strong lady Alice, and the support of family and friends will help you in the times ahead. We will see you all on Saturday, until then, remember the good times and reflect on what a great man he was!! Love forever, Darrol & Bernice

We have such fond memories of Alfred during the South West Snowmobile Drag Racing days. We can still picture him running the board at every race. It seemed lately we would run into he and Alice in the Medicine Hat mall food court and have a catch up and good visit. We will miss him , such a true gentleman.

Cousin Alice and family, I wanted to pass along sincere condolences on behalf of Karen and myself and our kids, Eamonn, Jorel, Elyse and Hillary; Greg,Gloria and kids Kenton, Jarrett, and Courtney; Sheila and Brian and Tanner; and my dad, Leo. Although it wasn't near often enough, I always enjoyed visiting with both of you and talking to both of you and catching up.... On behalf of my dad, Greg, Sheila and their kids, and Karen and myself, in Alfred's memory, I'll be making a donation to St. Joseph's Home Carmel Hospice in Medicine Hat. I'm retiring in June this coming year, and sometime in the following months we'll stop by and see you Alice. Our sincere condolences, Terry and Karen Dash Calgary

Alice and Family, Our condolences to you and the kids. From being extremely hectic, it now goes to too quiet. I know that family and friends will keep you busy and you have the get up and go! So, keep going. Sorry we could not attend the services as we were in Winnipeg. You probably have arrangements to spend Christmas at one of the kids place. We had Harry and Elaine Peart, Lynn Turnbull and Bill and Bev O'Shea over last night and tried to put names on old school photos. None of us have sharp minds to remember 60 years ago! Take care. Ray & Frankie
