He is survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, Denise, his children Karen (Gord), Leslie, Chuck (Kerri) and Nancy. Albert was predeceased by his mom and dad, Frank and Maria Ross, and eight siblings. His passing will be mourned by his 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews. Cherishing his memory are his brothers and sisters-in-law, who also were his life-long, helpful, caring friends. Dad was a kind hearted, generous man who loved everyone unconditionally. He was a plumber/pipefitter by trade working out of Union Local 254 and retiring after many years from the University of Manitoba. Dad enjoyed curling, ice fishing, Toronto Blue Jays, his poker/card New Year's Eve nights till the wee hours of the morning. He loved life, his family and friends. Cheers Dad till we meet again. Cremation has taken place and in honouring his wishes a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity of your choice.

My deepest condolences go out to the Ross Family he was a good friend and Tradesman. I met Albert in 1962 as a second year steamfitter apprentices while working on the original Red River Community College and have been friends since that time. When I was a Journeyman Steamfitter we worked many jobs together and had some good times and lots of laughs. Unfortunately as the years passed we would only see each other at Local 254's pin dinners and the odd Union function but he was not forgotten.
