Terry Hubbard, Burlington Fire Department
To me, Al Cairns was larger than life. He was my Platoon Chief, my Mentor, my Co-Instructor at Mohawk College, and above all, he was a cherished friend.
For the rest of my days, I will think of Al and smile whenever I hear change jingling in someone's pocket...
Al missed his wife, adored his family, valued morning coffee with his cronies and loved every moment at the trailer.
He made a huge and lasting impression on his co-workers at the Burlington Fire Department. Al was a kind and compassionate man with a wicked sense of humour and an uncanny ability to read people.
My life was made richer because you were in it, dear friend. I celebrate your peace.
