I only knew Al in his capacity as a missionary educator in Donetsk, Ukraine, but that still gives me some insight into the type of person he was. He taught at the International Reformed Seminary of Donetsk and was appreciated by everyone associated with the seminary. After Al taught there for the first time, I was contacted and asked if we would send him over again. Of course we were more than pleased to pass their request along to Al. He was easy to get along with and easy going and that made my working with him pleasant. We appreciate him as a person and a professor and miss him and his talents. Merle Messer

Dear Alice, It has been many, many years since the time we spent together at RBC, laughing together and crying together in our South Hall residence on the old campus. That was a huge year in your life, I remember, the most significant part of which was falling in love with Al and starting to plan your life together. I stumbled across an announcement about his passing in an email from my sister, who attends Covenant Reformed Church in Toronto, a sister URC congregation. I'm grateful for the 25 years you had together, serving the Lord and each other, and no doubt raising kids with a heart for service as well. I just want to express my deepest condolences, and pray for strength for you and your family in these very hard days. I wish there was some way to reach out over the miles and the years to give you a hug. May God bless you and bring your comfort. with love, and fond remembrances, Helena

Such a blessing to hear of the outpouring of compassion and prayer for you from so many. We're deeply thankful for the memory of Al's faithful commitment to Christ, his family, and God's people. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 in Christ, Maurice and Christine Luimes

Reformed Seminary in Donetsk, Ukraine, we loved Al's teaching , but most of all his love to the Lord and His work in this world.
It's a huge loss for all of us, but we are comforted that Al is nor with our Lord and Savior.
On a personal level, we lost a very good friend, a special person...
It's hard to believe, our prayers are for the family.

Our deepest and sincere condolences to Alice, the children, all loved-ones of our deceased brother and the congregation of Aylmer. It is so unreal. Al was such a sincere, down-to-earth, loyal, likeable, self-effacing gentleman. A true servant of Christ. To stand in his place on the pulpit of Aylmer last Sunday was incredibly sad and solemn experience. And yet it was above all also very sacred, because God was speaking to us all: "The time is short... and the present form of this world is passing away". May our Sovereign God and Risen Saviour comfort all who mourn.

Remembering Brother Al's kind words to me...and his faithful service to the Lord. In his last contact with me on earth he wrote: "Thanks for the heads up Mitchell. You have many blessings to celebrate in a single day!! Praise God! (We had our 25th wed anniv two days ago. "He who finds a wife finds a good thing.") May the Lord continue to bless you and your wife and your family in His service. A.K." God strengthen you, dear family.

Mr. Korvemaker will always be remembered as a great man of God, who left a godly impact on so many lives. I am thankful for the memories I was able to gain from being around his family. He taught me a lot and showed me an amazing example of what leading a God-centered home looks like. I will miss him terribly.

To Al's family, It was my privilege to be Al's teaching partner in Ukraine in early May of 2012. I so much enjoyed his fellowship, and the partnership we had as we instructed the students at the RITE Seminary in Donetsk. Just this morning I officiated at a funeral of an elderly member of our church -- and preached on the beautiful truths revealed in Psalm 23. May God use these and other Words of Life to give you all comfort and peace.
