Albert was born August 14, 1954 at Swan Lake, Manitoba. Albert was a hard-worker and took pride in everything he did. He said everything he knows he learned from his dad. He was a welder and a farm equipment operator. Albert was mechanically inclined, whatever machinery, be it big or small, he repaired it. He liked to joke with people and got along with a lot of people. Albert’s greatest pride and joy were his daughters. He always talked about “my girls”. Later he bragged with joy about his grandchildren. Albert will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
