Passed away at Norfolk General Hospital, Simcoe in his 80th year with his family by his side. Allan Hietapakka leaves behind his soulmate and partner in crime Monica Looper; his sons, Jefferson of LadySmith, B.C., Danny (Christine) of Brantford; and two grandchildren Brianna, and Madison. Also left behind two step-daughters Natashia, and Alisha (Andrew); step-grandsons, Kasey, Jaxson, and Glyn; sister, Anise; and brother, Raymond.
Al worked with Ontario Hydro for a number of years before he set up his own company, P.S.I.A. which entailed numerous clients throughout Canada and U.S.A. Al loved travelling and making sure there was always fun on the way. He loved to fish but his ultimate hobby was cooking and entertaining, and he never had a problem using his friends as guinea pigs to try his latest dish. Fortunately only a few times the experiment had to be quickly changed to pizza.
Many thanks to Dr. Sathiyapalan and her wonderful team at Juravinski Cancer Center. A heartfelt thanks to friend Dave Hines for all his extra help and support. Due to Al’s new found love of cats, in lieu of flowers donations may be made to Purr-fect Companions in Delhi, Ontario.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Br.#79, 200 West St., Simcoe, ON on Saturday October 17, 2026 from 1-4pm. Arrangements by Hyde & Mott Chapel, Hagersville.
