It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Alan Mounsteven on Saturday, August 19, 2023 at his home in his 76th year. He is loved and sadly missed by his wife, Jeanne of over 50 years. Loving father of Shaun [Laura] of Carrying Place and Robin [Jacqueline] of Port Sydney. Amazing Grandfather to Emma, Olive and Thatcher. Lovingly remembered by his brother, Grant [Kathy], sister-in-law Jacqueline and many nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by his brother Ross and sister Catherine.

Al’s warmth and good-natured approach in life will be missed. Always appreciated for his ability to brighten the room with song, or laughter, after a well-timed joke.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday September 23, 2023 at 2pm at Eden United Church, 13784 County Rd 21 Dundonald. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Friends of Dundonald.

Alan was a remarkable man for many reasons - he was warm, kind, funny, and always made everyone feel better just by being around him. He achieved many wonderful things in his life, but his greatest accomplishment and legacy is his family. On a personal note, Al made me feel like family from the first time I met him, and it was always evident to me that Shaun is an amazing husband and father because he was raised by a man who set the example. Always loved and never forgotten. We will miss you so much.

Our sincere condolences to Jeanne, Shaun, Laura, Emma, Rob, Jaqueline, Olive, Thatcher, and extended family and friends. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

I met Al and Jeanne through the Ganaraska Chordsmen Barbershop Chorus, Port Hope. Al sang Lead and was being encouraged to be part of a quartet. We travelled most Tuesdays to and from chorus together. When I first joined the chorus, Al would visit in his "older" convertible just to say Hi. He really loved that car. Always ready with a joke or "one liners" that broke everyone up. Al was a good Friend and I will miss him. Al, you are missed. Thanks for those memories my Friend. In Harmony Gord

Stephen Lollar - August 23, 2023

Al, Shaun and I enjoyed watching the 2017 RBC Cup finals where the hometown Cobourg Cougars defeated the Brooks (AB) Bandits 3-2 in overtime! … the young rising star defenceman for the Bandits was Cale Makar (2022 Conn Smythe Trophy winner). We all marvelled at the young Calgarian’s skill - it’s so rewarding to experience a great hockey game with folks steeped in this Canadian tradition. Al declared his defiant faith in the Toronto Maple Leafs - then would recite every “dumb” trade they had made since the Harold Ballard “reign of error”! His smartass son stated “to bad there are no colour photos of the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup!” All in good fun! To Shaun, Laura and Emma- I am so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourselves and your extended family. Be well. Stephen Lollar (Sabres fan!)!

Margot Tarajos - August 23, 2023
