Since retiring Al has become quite involved in his hobby farm as well as his church. He also enjoys and is very proficient at woodworking and gardening. |

He is a strong community minded person who enjoys the old time fiddle jamborees, R-Ving, dancing, step dancing (not to bad at it himself) and all the friendships made with such folk.

He is compassionate, caring and always more than willing to do whatever he can to help families during a difficult time. He knows most everyone in the area and they know him. If Gord doesn't know them, then you can be sure Marj does. Like Gord says .. "Marj knows everybody". Gord and his wife Marj. (one of Almonte's finest nurses "Ret.") live in our community. A number of their children and grandchildren live here as well. This is home, Marj was born and raised here. Gord hails from Carleton Place (but we still like him).

 | Harold Hogg, Funeral Directors Assistant Office Phone: 613-256-3313 collect Harold is the newest member of the Gamble team. Following his retirement and after the sale of his Apple Auto Glass business, he joined the staff in 2007. Harold is a quiet, soft spoken individual who's sincere demeanor is recognizable from your very first meeting with him. In short, the easiest way to describe Harold is with 2 words, "he cares". When dealing with people at a very difficult time in their lives, that description, pretty well says it all. Harold is another local lad who was born and raised on the family farm in Clayton. Harold knows most everyone. Reg Gamble and his family have made a point of surrounding themselves with local staff, people the community know and can identify with. People who are comfortable being around friends they have known all their lives. Harold is a welcome addition to the staff. |
