sister-in-law Barb (Russell) Lafrentz.
When Albert was very young, the
family moved to the Rolling Hills district
to farm where they homesteaded.
Albert was about 12-years-old when
his father passed away, resulting in
his mother having to raise 10 kids on
her own in addition to all of the
farming.
Times were tough but they pulled
together and became a very close-knit
family.
The older boys found jobs and sent
money home to help the family out.
Albert quit school and got his first
job when he was only 14-years-old.
As luck would have it, he got to
operate heavy equipment.
Operating equipment was the purpose
of his life.
Albert was doing road construction
in the Marble Canyon area when he
met a young lady.
Her name was Louise Ambury.
They were married on Sept. 6, 1958
and settled in Calgary.
Bonnie was born in 1959 to round
out their joy.
Brian joined the family in 1961.
At this time, Albert took his family
with him to live in camps while he
continued to build roads.
Albert was a pioneer in road construction
and helped to build the
Alberta infrastructure when there
was nothing from Jasper to Rainbow
Lake to Fort McMurray.
During road construction season,
the whole family lived in camp and in
the winter they would live on the farm
with his brother, Paddy.
Bonnie and Brian remember lots of
happy memories from this time when
they were surrounded by family.
Eventually, they had to put the kids
in school, so Louise moved to Alix,
Alta. and then Stettler while Albert
worked on the Highway 12 construction
by Stettler.
This was the start of Louise raising
the kids and Albert living on the road
during the week and living with the
family on the weekend.
Albert then started running a Cat,
building oilfield leases in the
Coronation area.
Even though Albert was away from
his family a lot to provide for them,
family was very important to him.
A few times a year, Albert
and the whole family would
pack up the car, go on the
road and visit relatives.
Albert enjoyed working so
much that he had to retire
three times until he finally
was able to quit at 75.
However, that made him
available to help Tom out on
the farm.
As with all families, they
start growing with the addition
of grandchildren and spouses.
Albert would do anything for his
grandkids.
He was very proud of all of his
grandchildren and the fact that he took
most of them for a ride in “Grandpa’s
Cat.”
He was even prouder to be a
great-grandpa.
Sale conducted by:
Louise passed away in 1999.
Albert had spent a lot of his life alone
on the road, and now he was even more
alone than he had ever expected.
He ended up in the apartment across
the hall from a lovely lady that would
become his friend and companion,
Jean Anderson.
Jean filled a void in Albert’s life that
no one else could.
They would get to spend their senior
years together for the next 15 years.
Their last day together was when
Albert passed away.
The family wishes to thank Points
West Living staff for their excellent
care, dignity and compassion given to
Albert.
Funeral services were held on Mon.,
Aug. 19, 2019 at Stettler Funeral Home
with Albert’s friend Keith Worth as
emcee.
Joan Rushton and LeeAnn
Kinderwater presented their gifts of
music and son-in-law Tom McCrindle
