ALT, Andrew
- May 18, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, Andrew Alt, aged 86, on May 18, 2024 in Pointe-Claire.
Andrew was born on April 18, 1938 to John Alt and Suzanne Aquin in Montreal. He will be deeply missed by his 3 daughters, Louise, Catherine (Ron) and Suzanne (David); 5 grandchildren, Amanda (Jonathan), Nikolas, Charlotte, Wil and Hannah; 2 great-grandchildren, Jon and Alivia; his brothers Johnny (Lise) and Francois and his sister Anne Marie (Terry); Zekiya (Tamary) and many relatives and friends.
Andrew will always be remembered for his love of aircraft and he attended many airshows in Montreal and Ontario. He was most proud of his years in the Royal Canadian Airforce. He dedicated many years to the Montreal Aviation Museum, repairing and building many aircraft. He loved traveling, exploring historical sites and meeting interesting people. He loved jazz music and religiously attended the Montreal Jazz Festivals and the Upstairs Jazz Club. He had a passion for food (cooking and eating), especially ethnic and Chinese food. Andrew had a wonderful sense of humor that was enjoyed by everyone around him. He had a love for learning new things and was fascinated by how things worked and were made. We will always remember his constant love and captivation with the moon, stars and the universe.
The celebration of life will be held at the Voluntas Commemoration, 4695 St. Jean Blvd., Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC H9H 2A7, on Thursday July 25, 2024. Gathering from 1 to 5 p.m., eulogies at 2 p.m. followed by reception. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

June 23, 2024 at 3:03 amI will always remember our interesting conversations and although I was a child and then a young teenager he made me feel important and respected. The feeling was mutual. Louise, Catherine, and Suzanne, I carry your pain and know your father was a very special person who left a beautiful legacy.

July 22, 2024 at 5:34 pmWell done Obituary, so describes many facets of my friend Andy’s life qualities. We go back to 1974 time, in Greenfield Park. He had an interest and knowledge of so much. I was no match. We did spend a lot of time together, with Paulette and our families. Camping trips, Rental opportunities near Jay Peak, those outings to Jazz shows, Biddles and Upstairs (that was Downstairs).
Working with Andy, for his and Paulette’s Lawn Treatment business. Hearing so often about his most favorite subject “airplanes”. Cannot forget his delight in preparing the perfect Oriental meal. We had many. Dim Sums frequently. Good Memories Andy. You sharing your life loves up-there! RIP

July 25, 2024 at 4:27 pmJe suis triste d’apprendre le décès de Andy Alt, je l’ai connu lorsqu’on était dans la même équipe; un homme remarquable, toujours curieux d’apprendre, avec un sens de l’humour contagieux. Repose en paix ! Mes condoléances à ces frères, sa soeur ainsi qu’à ces 3 filles et nombreux amis. Marcel St-Jacques

September 5, 2024 at 8:43 pmToday September 5th I’m learning this news.The reaction of course is disbelief and decided shock and tears. Then sweetly the mind switches to remember.A twinkle in the eye and some kind of joke or humour in the air. My privilege to be part of the Alt / Graham family . The warmth and generosity of hearts. My thoughts with all the family .
