Obituary of Alfred SCHIEMAN

March 20, 1939 - Prelate, Saskatchewan             

August 20, 2020 - Calgary,  Alberta  

It is with sadness we announce the passing of our father Alf on Thursday, August 20, 2020 at the age of 81 years.

Alf was born in Prelate, Saskatchewan and moved to Calgary at age 14. In his younger years, Alf was an avid curler and spent many hours competing in the sport.  As he got older, he focussed on his family and career. Along with his wife Diane, he owned and operated an equipment rental business in Calgary, from which he retired at age 60. The winter months of his retirement were spent in Palm Springs, where you could find him most days on the golf course working on his handicap and many evenings on his patio enjoying a cocktail with Diane.

He will be lovingly remembered by daughters, Patty, Karen (Doug); son Allan (Kathy); his five grandchildren, Nick, Kenzie, Logan, Dalen and Trey; brother Erv Schieman (Peggy); sister, Edith Porro; numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife, Diane in 2016.

In keeping with Alf’s wishes no funeral service will be held. A private family celebration will be held at a later date. The family wishes to thank Dr. Heng and staff at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre for their kindness and support. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
