It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved brother, Allan James Gray (Big Al to his many friends).  Allan Passed suddenly at the young age of 55, due to health complications.

He was a well-known businessman in Notre Dame de Lourdes.  His restaurant “Big Al’s Burgers” fed many people from across Manitoba and beyond.  He always had a smile for everyone who came to support his business.  He was known for his generous nature and always supported local fundraisers.  Allan was very dedicated to his customers and his town.  Allan looked after his siblings and would help all of us the best that he could.  He made things happen.
