Mr Rothenberger was our principal when he first started in West K. His reputation sounded harsh but like most gossip it was far from the truth. All my memories of him were pleasant and he seemed to make a wonderful impression on all whom he taught. - Posted by: Vincent lobo (Student) on: Jan 11, 2021

I remember Mr. Rothenberger as my teacher in Edmund Partridge Junior High. He was inspirational, and the best teacher I ever had. He was a fine gentleman! - Posted by: Rob Bilbey (former student) on: Feb 07, 2018

I remember Mr. Rothenberger as the Vice Principal of West Kildonan Collegiate in 1973. He was a very nice man as I remember, and I'm sure his memory will live on in the students he taught, and mentored. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Kim Ellison (student) on: Feb 05, 2018

Lillian and Family Saddened to see Albert’s obituary in this mornings paper. We are in Mexico but saw it on the internet. From being a part of the demolition of the old Todd cottage to helping to haul lumber for the new cottage to Albert’s visits to bemoan pensions created a relationship that remained.

Mr. Rothenberger was a teacher that I never forgot. He taught me in Grade 9 in Edmund Partridge Junior High on Main Street. He was a teacher who TAUGHT. As I am now 78 years old you know the memory he left on my life. The world will miss a great and wonderful person. Rest in peace Mr R. - Posted by: Jack MacDonald (Former Student) on: Feb 03, 2018

Mr Rothenberger was my principal when I started school in kindergarten at West St. Paul, and was there until the mid 80s until he moved to West Kildonan Collegiate, where he was my principal again there until his retirement. He was always a fair and understanding principal at both schools that I attended. I want to thank-you Mr. Rothenberger for being a great principal and you rest in peace sir. - Posted by: Anthony Mihaychuk (Former student) on: Feb 03, 2018

Al was my vice principal for a short while near the end of his education career, when I was principal. He taught me many things about communication with parents. He was particularly adept at having a troubled student and a worried parent come to a suitable plan to correct an issue in a way which would benefit the student, short and long term, while at the same time affirming the anxious parent. May his strong faith and memories such as the above comfort his family. - Posted by: Don Mandryk (colleague) on: Feb 03, 2018

When I began teaching Mr. Rothenberger was my first principal and showed me great kindness and understanding. He instilled in me his philosophy in dealing with students which I have held as a fundamental value in working with people. Be firm but fair. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Brian Humniski (Colleague) on: Jan 31, 2018

Lillian, Debbie and Dave, Lorraine and Tom and families, Sending you my deepest condolences in the passing of Albert. I and the girls have such fond memories of him from Christ Lutheran. He, along with the rest of your family made the girls and I feel so welcome when we joined Christ. I enjoyed being on committees with him and joining him and Lillian on the famous Lutheran protest march to the Forks. His perspective on issues, his sense of humour, his devotion to his community, friends and family shall be missed. He was bigger than life and his memory shall live on. Sending you love and sympathy.
