With his family by his side, Albert left to be with his beloved wife Rita. He will be deeply missed by his four children; Germaine (Jim Garden), Raymond (Jin Hur), Leo (Kathy Lakey), Patricia, grandchildren Nicole, Trevor, Danielle, Alyssa and great grandchildren Teagan and Liam. He was predeceased by his Parents Léandre and Rose, and by his brothers Edmond, George, Thomas, Phillip and René. He leaves to mourn his brothers Fern and Paul and sisters Mary-Anne and Laurette. Dad was born in 1924 in St. Anne, Manitoba; he married Rita Simard (deceased 2010) in 1953. He lived a wonderful and full 90 years, had many adventures and made many friends. As a young man he played guitar and worked the family homestead. He spoke often of his childhood and the joy he derived from a good day's work and then to come home to his mother's great cooking. As a father he worked hard to provide for a growing family. Trips to the lake in the big Ford Meteor were a weekly event in the summers. He was a master carpenter taking great pride in his work and helping his children with renovations to their homes, building a playhouse for the grandchildren and always being on-call for many friends and relatives who need a hand.

Sorry to hear of your dad's passing Leo. We can still see you two guys building that beautiful playhouse for the girls! It was always fun to chat with him (en français) when he came for a visit to TO. He was a great guy! R.I.P. Albert!
