Mr. Alphonse "Al" Walter Daigle was born in Bathurst on July 14, 1926; he was the son of the late Alfred and Margaret (Bernard) Daigle. In 1933, Al and his family moved to Western, PEI, where he and his brothers and sisters attended a one-room schoolhouse. He was introduced to religion by his mother who taught him the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary. They travelled to Church on Sunday by horse and buggy or by taking a short cut across the fields. After attending a militia camp, "He was hooked" and one week after his 16th birthday, Al enlisted. Early one morning, after his training was completed, he boarded the Queen Mary bound for Scotland and he remained in the Armed Forces until 1946. Al loved to travel and throughout the years he was able to visit many different parts of the world. He was involved in many organizations, supported various political groups and practiced a variety of religions. Al valued an education, and in 1978, Al graduated with a Bachelor in Theology in Pastoral Studies and a teacher's diploma for Christian Education in a Church School. He also completed a French course at Bethel Bible Institute. He loved and valued his family and enjoyed the time he was able to spend with them. He made a difference in the world by giving freely of himself. He donated blood over a hundred times and would walk miles collecting recyclables and would donate the money to charity. He was a kind soul who touched many lives throughout his life.
