DeCoste, Albert Alphonsus "Foncie" - Age 69, Mulgrave. We regret to announce the passing of a man that exhibited courage, perseverance and character.

Foncie died on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 in the QE 11, Infirmary Site, Halifax. Foncie was an avid card player that could rap his knuckles hard on the table with the 5 or Jack and follow it with a big smile. Foncie owned one vehicle in his lifetime, his beloved scooter, which he used to travel the streets of Mulgrave. In his younger years he thoroughly enjoyed his trips to the woods with brother, Joe to secure the winters wood. Foncie for years was the community mailman. Not rain, sleet, nor hail stopped "Cliffie" from delivering the mail to family and friends. Born in Mulgrave, on October 28, 1946 to his late parents, Timothy and Mary (DeCoste) DeCoste.
