Albert Dee (VA3DZZ)​

28 September, 1941 – 3 April, 2025

 We are saddened to announce the sudden passing of Al at his home in Rockwood at the age of 83.

 Survived by his loving wife Sue (nee Funnell), son Tyrone (Juan) and daughter Brittney (Chris). Dear brother of Larry (Elinor), George (Evy), Alex (Laverne), the late Raymond, John “Jackie” (Sue), Jimmy (Kim), and Ross (Wendy). Brother in law of Marilyn Baker (Jim), the late Valerie and Ben Kuipers, Brenda Heacock (Bill), and Doug Funnell (Sue).

 Al spent many years as a dedicated truck driver and owner-operator, following the open road with a love for the journey and the people he met along the way. Later in life, his restless spirit led him to launch his own pilot car business, escorting oversized loads and proving that his thirst for adventure could never be slowed down.

 In retirement, Al became a proud, licensed HAM radio operator, forging lasting friendships that kept his mind sharp and his heart full—even as physical limitations and a Parkinson’s diagnosis made it harder to get out and about as often as he would’ve liked.

May the road ahead be as smooth as he always hoped it would be
