Dear Carol and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Allen’s passing. I have so many fond memories of the kindness of Allen and his folks. It was a privilege to have known him. My thoughts are with you all.
My deepest sympathy to the Kirbyson family. I only just learned of Al’s passing from another retired member. Al was the detachment commander in Yellowknife and in Hay River when I had the honor to work with him in the early 80’s. He was very good and fair as a policeman! He will be missed!
Carol and family. So very sorry to hear of Allen’s passing. He was always good for many stories. You have many wonderful memories to share.
Sorry to hear of Al’s passing. A good man who contributed a lot to society. I remember him as an outstanding hockey player.

Carol, so sorry to hear of Al’s passing. I knew him many years ago in Surrey when he was stationed near White Rock, he was a fine man. I spoke to you on telephone a few times but only found out about Allan through my son, who was at a job in whitecourt. Again my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Priveleged to know him and speak with you.
Hello Carol:
I just came across this news that Al had died in 2018. Please accept our deepest condolences. You will recall our connections back when we both being posted in Springdale, NL – I was in banking and Al with the RCMP.
