DUNLOP
In deep sadness, we announce the passing of our loved father, grandfather and friend, ALEXANDER FORREST DUNLOP. Known to many as Forrest and to others as Scottie, Alec and Timber, Dad passed away peacefully on Friday, June 19, 2015 after a courageous battle with cancer.
An entrepreneur before many, Dad sailed in 1957 with his young wife (Greta) and daughter from Scotland to Canada to begin a new life. Settling in Lethbridge, Alberta, Dad began his Canadian life on a farm on the Sunnyside Road. Dad, always energetic and willing to work hard, excelled in many areas; as a farmer, mechanic, carpenter, welder, electrician and truck driver. Whatever he was determined to do, he did well and with pride. Together, he and Greta raised six children; Elaine, Sharon, Debra, Patricia, Karen and Roger. The family grew with 11 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Forrest & Greta loved nothing more than to holiday in their RV and spend time with family.
Forrest is predeceased by his wife Greta, whom he dearly missed, his sister Betty Elliot (Scotland).
He is survived by his six children and his youngest sister Moira Stewart (Scotland).
Dad, our lives have been enriched beyond words to have you as a father and friend. We will miss your wisdom, your great kindness, your amazing smile and the whistle on your lips. Be happy once more as you join Mom on your next journey. We will miss you for the rest of our lives. A special thanks to all of the doctors & nurses at the Chinook Regional Hospital on floor 3C and the palliative team.
At Forrest’s request, no funeral service will be held.
