In Loving Memory of Aaro Veikko Alatalo Passed away December 14th, 2014 at the age of 82 at Health Sciences North. Beloved husband of Lilja. Loving father of Eila (Réné Ross), Ray, Lillian (Tim Russell) and Brian (Julie). Cherished Pappa of Jamie, Jason, Jennifer and Mika. Survived in Finland by his 4 sisters, 1 brother and 1 uncle and numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Vihtori and Anna-Liisa Alatalo and uncle Jalmari and Inga. Aaro came to Canada on October 17th, 1957 to continue working as a brick layer, contractor and eventually miner in 1964 and became a member of the INCO Quarter Century Club. Working the family farm until the mid 1990’s, he was happiest just hanging out at the “Farm” and spending time at his Westree camp. He was one of the founding members of the Sudbury Finnish Male Choir and enjoyed music and song and the fellowship of the choir. To say he loved whitefish fishing would be an understatement, and any time out in the outdoors to him was time well spent. He will be missed by many friends and acquaintances both here and Finland. Memorial Service at St. Matthew’s Evangelical Lutheran Church 264 MacKenzie Street, Sudbury Thursday, December 18th, 2014 at 11:00 A.M. Cremation at the Park Lawn Crematorium. Interment to follow in the spring of 2015. Arrangements entrusted to the Lougheed Funeral Home, Sudbury. Donations to the St. Mathews Evangelical Lutheran Church appreciated.
