• Al Bruneau was one of the most positive individuals I have ever met. I enjoyed our many conversations in the school hallways, office or parking lot. He always had time say hello...not just in passing...but to take a few minutes to chat how things are going, always with a smile. Al cared....truly a genuine human being. This man was everyone's friend. Even when faced with his illness, Al approached it as he approached all other things in his life....positively. I always had a great deal of respect for Al and was saddened by his passing. it was a privilege to have known him. My deepest condolences to his family on the loss of a wonderful man. God Bless. - Posted by: Ken Park (Fellow Fort Garry/ Pembina Trails School Division Colleague) on: Oct 23, 2014

• I remember Al well from the mid to late 80's as he delivered the mail to St. Avila in Fort Garry School Division. He was always happy and cheerful and became a part of each school staff with his positive personality. 15 years later, I saw him at VW and was amazed to see him with his still positive, vibrant demeanor. My condolences to the Bruneau family for the loss of such a wonderful man. Cherish your memories. - Posted by: Yvonne Reimer (teacher friend) on: Oct 20, 2014

It was always a pleasure to sit and chat about the olden days in Lac du Bonnet and all the current events happening in our extended family.

• Al has taught me so much in the time I knew him. His kindness, his positivity, his friendliness, his ability to remember so many faces and so many names, his stories, his passion to work, his enjoyment of seeing the students in the lunch program, his love for his family; all of this and more has truly left an impact on my life. Al was an amazing man with the kindest heart. I will miss him tremendously. Rest in peace Al.

• Al walked in to our dance class at Shirley's with a big smile and enthusiasm as he embraced his desire to learn the swing dance. It wasn't long afterward that Al was sporting his leather pants at a fabulous 50's social event. In one dance class he met Heather and his eyes lit up. We all know what happened after that. - Posted by: Deborah and Chris Gaynor-Martens (Dance Instructors and friends) on: Oct 11, 2014
