<div itemprop="description">Alfred (Al) Frank Martin Parama passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on January 23, 2016 at the age of 88 years. He was born in Poland and immigrated to Canada at a very young age. <br /> <br />Left behind to mourn Al&rsquo;s passing are his children, Alfred, Valerie (Juergen), Cathy (Mark), Robert (Da), Michael (Carrie), and Karen; grandchildren, Kelly, Jesse, Nicky, Chelsea, Kristen and Robin; as well as numerous great-grandchildren. Al is predeceased by his wife, Damaris; sister, Jenny; brother, Walter; and grandchildren, Jeff and Jamie. <br /> <br />Al had an unquenchable spirit of adventure and loved the open road. He was truly the happiest when family would join him on camping and motorbike trips, as well as hiking places such as The Grand Canyon&hellip;anywhere that he could live life to the fullest. He was an avid hunter and fisherman so being outdoors was where he felt the most alive. Al was a cowboy at heart and being a &ldquo;people person&rdquo; would entertain everyone with tall tales and stories. Above all, he was devoted to his family and his children thought the world of him. He fought bravely through pain and suffering to the very end with jokes and smiles. <br /> <br />A private family burial will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Al&rsquo;s honour may be made directly to the Canadian Cancer Society. <br /> <br />Riding into the sunset, <br />Stopping once to rest. <br />The old cowboy knew, <br />He&rsquo;d given his best. <br />Tired now and weary, <br />He should really sit a spell. <br />But the road stretched before him, <br />And he had a story to tell! <br />-by Val <br /> <br /></div>
