Albert Bryson was born to Mr. Bamford Bryson and Ms. Elsie Tippins on June 27, 1942. He is survived by his wife, Francesca Bryson, son, Lance Bryson and daughter, Bridget Paton. He is also mourned by his grandchildren, Alexa & Jessica Bryson as well as Reilly and Jessica Paton and his surviving siblings Don, Bruce, Jim, Joyce and Darlene.

Al led a full life, having had many careers ranging from firefighting to flying as a pilot with the Canadian Air Force; however, he was fortunate to spend the majority of his career doing what he truly loved which was working with airlines as an airworthiness advisor, pilot and aircraft engineer.

Together with his beloved wife, they lived abroad for a number of years and travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East working with various airlines. They returned home in retirement but although retirement was short-lived for Al, he was happy to have spent his last couple of years surrounded by the love of family and friends.
