Alf “Alfie” Joel Hahr, resident of Grande Prairie, formerly of Wembley, AB, passed away Sunday, July 16, 2017, at the QEII Hospital, at the age of 84 years.

Alf was born in Tovell, ON, and went to school in Tovell and Fort Francis ON. He was employed by Proctor and Gamble as a heavy equipment operator and helped at Pipestone Golf Club. Alf was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, former member of the Royal Canadian Legion in Sundre, AB. He transferred to Grande Prairie where he remained an active member.

He loved golf, where he never could hit the hole on the green. He was a happy-go-lucky man with a smile for all. His favourite saying was “Ya, sure, you betcha!” He enjoyed teasing his wife with a smile, playing and singing with his guitar, his many travels with the bands he met, and snow birding in Yuma, AZ every winter with his wife.

Alf will be sadly missed by his beloved wife of 40 years Irene; children: Dan, Ann Marie, Dawn, Thesa, Dennis, and Ron; grandchildren: Angie, Jessie, Bobbi, Sylvie, Jonah, Romeo, Andrea, Tara Lyn, Kelsey, and Cheryl. He will be very sadly missed by his loving sister Ann Moore and her husband Bill; sister in-law Amelia, brother in-law Joseph, sister in-law Helen, brother in-law Jonny and his wife Betty; dear friends: Royce and Dawn Hanson and their children Carter and Reid, Mavis and Wilf Hanson and their daughter Tammy and grandson Spencer; Bonnie and Doug Coutorier, and Maxine and Frans Kramps.

He was predeceased by his parents Olga and Frans Hahr and his in-laws John Mary Kruzick.

A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, July 21, 2017 at 4:00pm, at Wilf and Mavis’ Grand Ole Opry Barn in Wembley, AB on Pipestone Creek Road.
