   Dad fought long and hard to stay with us but died, as he lived, without complaint and only concern for those of us who kept the vigil by his bedside until the end.
   Alvin was born on February 14, 1916 in Thessalon, Ont., to John and Alberta (Bertha) Delaney, in 1918, following the death of his father, Alvin and his mother and five siblings moved to the Kleskun Hill area and he gained a step-dad, Isaac (Ike) Boyer and later four additional siblings.

   In 1974 upon retirement. he bought a small acreage at Louis Creek. B.C., and resided there until his failing health necessitated a move to a seniors home at Blind Bay, in June 2002. Dad's health improved immensely in this new environment but, sadly, on August 17, 2002 he entered the hospital where he spent his last days.
   Dad knew who all of us were, to the end. and kept his sense of humour even though we knew he was in extreme pain. We felt honoured to be able to spend these last weeks with him as he had sacrificed so much to raise us, and help us whenever he could. throughout our lives.
   Dad always gave unselfishly to others, never asking anything in return. He will be greatly missed.
