Albert was respected and loved by all his family, friends, and community. He raised 5 children with his wife Martina in Almonte and spent many years camping and boating with his family. He also spent many years being very active in the community as a member of the Almonte Canoe Club, Badminton Club, Canadian Café Touch Football team, Charter member of the Almonte Civitan Club, member and senior rep of the Almonte Curling Club and you could find him out biking and kayaking whenever he could.
