Albert Carl Streith

Carl to his family, and Al to his Bell Canada colleagues, passed away peacefully with his wife and family at his side on Monday, December 9, 2024, as the sun rose at University Hospital. Beloved wife of Jessie for a wonderful 63 years. Devoted father to Hallie and Frank, Peter and Karin, and Paul and Jana. Doting and loving grandfather to Seth and Rilinda, Diandra and Jordan, Griffin, Lucas and David, David and Sam, Laura and Chris, Emily and Olivia. Carl’s two great grandsons, Eli Lynton and Leo Carl brought him such genuine joy.

Nothing was more important to Carl than his family. He was a pillar of strength for all those he called family and could always be counted on to guide or assist anyone in need. He taught us the importance of being someone you could count on in all aspects of life. Carl was a kind and thoughtful man, a devoted family man, and a great friend. After retiring from Bell, Carl built a beautiful home on the lake for family and friends who were always welcome, and we all have many wonderful memories of times with them at “the cottage”. Every summer, they would have their grandchildren come up to get spoiled rotten. He loved cats, and they loved him. Whenever there was a new kitten in the family, we knew we had to frisk our father before he left, as he notoriously had that kitten quietly tucked away in his shirt as he was trying to make his escape. We were all so blessed to have had you in our lives!

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will take place at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Saturday, December 14, 2024 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m., with Words of Remembrance at 2:30 p.m. for anyone who would like to share a memory of Carl.

Those wishing to donate in memory of Carl are asked to consider either The Salvation Army Canada, the Terry Fox Foundation or a charity of your choice.
