ALLARD, Philippe Camille Phil was taken from us suddenly on March 28, 2008.
He is survived by his grandparents Therese Allard, Arcade and Therese Vermette; his parents, Laurent and Henriette; his brother, Daniel; his parents-in-law, Ken and Karen Woo; and the love of his life, Andrea.
His kindness, gentle manner, generosity, and quick wit made him a cherished friend to countless people. He achieved tremendous professional success and became the CFO of A.D. Williams at the age of 33. He was an extraordinary athlete and a strong supporter of junior athlete development. He was a top national badminton player, and was quickly becoming a threat on the squash scene as well.
His Memorial Service will be held Saturday, April 5 at 10:00 a.m. at South Side Memorial Chapel, 8310 - 104 Street, Edmonton, AB. Reception to follow at the Royal Glenora Club. A joint public tribute in honour of Phil, his best friend Reagan Williams, and his trusted colleague, Rhonda Quirke, will be held Sunday, April 6 at 2:00 p.m. at the Winspear Centre.

A Catholic service will be held in Winnipeg on April 12 at 1:00 p.m. at Mary, Mother of the Church, 85 Kirkbridge Drive. South Side Memorial Chapel. Patterson, Mittelstadt & Justik. 432-1601.
