Loving father, grandfather and great grandfather, John Georg Alsch, age 94 was born April 6, 1927 in Heinzendorf, Germany passed away in Roseview Manor on Monday, July 26, 2021.
He worked at several jobs from bush worker to mechanic after arriving in Canada, finishing his working career with his own company, John’s Saw Sales. He loved fishing & woodworking and puttering with all things mechanical.
