Allen Joseph Scriver
Suddenly and unexpected, Allen Joseph Scriver passed away at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, surrounded by his family on July 14th 2022.
He was a loving husband, best friend and soulmate to his wife Frieda, an amazing dad to Darryl (Rene), Brandi, Nicole (Tom), Adam (Heather), Randy (Janet) Al jr ( Marlene) and a grampa to 11 grandchildren... a son to the late Lucy and George Scriver, brother to Betty Schrader and the late Bud Scriver and a dog dad to our little girl Lucy.
Al was a hard working member of the Operating Engineers Local 793 for 53 years and tried to retire at least 10 times... He taught Heavy Equipment at Durham College for several semesters and was so proud when Darryl and Nathan chose to take up his trade.
Al had a very special bond with his granson Nathan, he was a father figure that Nathan could count on always.
This man was larger than life and lived each day to the fullest. He was such a good sport trying new things and was always excited for what our next adventure would be. Al touched many lives and his wonderful circles of friends were like family to him, he loved each and everyone of you... Al could always be counted on for a fun time and lending a helpful hand.
We would like to thank the staff in CCU Bowmanville Hospital that cried along with us and for doing everything possible to keep him with us.
A Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date.

Allissa was the life of the room. Her smile was warm and bright. Our lives will never be the same without her laughter and light.

Always ready to hug and never left without saying “I love you.” She was such an incredible daughter, granddaughter, sister and friend. She loved her friends dearly.
Allissa will never be forgotten and will be in our hearts forever.

Albert Brenner
(1932 - 2022)
It is with great sadness that we announce that Albert Anton Brenner passed away quickly and suddenly at 4:06 pm on Saturday, July 9, 2022 at Ajax-Pickering hospital.
He was 90 years of age at the time of his passing.
Albert was predeceased by his beloved wife Gertrude Brenner (nee Link), his siblings Anton Brenner and Rosemarie Geis, and his parents Anton and Ida (Enders) Brenner.
Albert will be greatly missed by his only child Belinda, his three grandchildren Brosnan, Felicity and Hayden, in whose collective hearts he will live on, and anyone who knew him.
Albert was born on January 31, 1932 in Lauingen, Germany.
He married his love, Gertrude, also from Germany, in 1954, to whom he was married until her passing in late 2018. He immigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1955 and, within days of arriving, began working for Audi/Volkswagen Canada, where he worked as Plant Engineer for approximately 37 years until he retired at the age of 60.
Albert was a family man. He cherished his wife, whom he greatly missed since her passing and whose hand he no doubt holds once again.
He loved his three grandchildren with all of his heart, caring for, teaching and guiding them. He was his daughter’s rock.
He was a knowledgeable, friendly, kind-hearted, honest, and giving man. He lived independently in his own home, for which he was extremely happy, until the month before his passing, when he moved to a retirement residence. A better male role model his daughter and grandchildren could not have had.
A private family only visitation will take place on Thursday, July 14th. After a Catholic blessing, later that afternoon, Albert (together with the cremated remains of his beloved wife Gertrude) will be laid to rest at Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of any flowers, the family would appreciate donations to either the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
