He is also survived by his siblings, Rodney Cooney, Debra Williams, Michael Cooney, and Sandra Cooney (Gerry Bugera). As well as Marlys’ family; Nataline and Ty Sadorsky; Terri-Lyn Roshinsky-Kardel; Jason and Teresa Roshinsky; Brian and Jeannie Reid; as well as numerous nieces and nephews, who will fondly remember him as “Uncle Al, the kiddie’s pal”. Al was predeceased by his parents Ron and Alice Cooney; his in-laws Clarence and Lorraine Roshinsky; sister-in-law Carolyn Sutherland; and nephews Shawn Williams and Geordie Sutherland.
The family wishes to thank the caring staff at BC Cancer Society and the staff at KGH Emergency, ICU, and 4B for their wonderful care.

Sending you all my love and sympathy for this loss. May you find peace in the memories.
Marlys, Tyler, Carly, Alison, Brendan, special grandchildren and extended family – words cannot express my deepest sympathy to you. Al is gone much too soon from your lives. Although I did not know Al long, I will always remember his big smile, easygoing manner, acceptance of others, positive and unselfish attitude and mostly his love of family. I do know that we can all learn from the person that he was. Al and Marlys welcomed my son to their family like one of their own. There is no doubt he was the best Dad, Father-in-law and Papa anyone could ever want. I know Al would have felt loved and supported by family and friends. Although he is now free of any pain and suffering, the void in your lives without Al will be great. May you find some peace and healing from the treasured memories of the time you shared, knowing His loving arms will always support you.
