Along with his parents, Albert was predeceased by a sister, Eva Medd and brother-in-law, Brian Smail. Albert was born during WWll in Kalisch, Poland. He worked in Germany for a period of time before immigrating to Canada in 1960. He settled in Medicine Hat where he started working as a welder for S.F. Scott Manufacturing. Albert transitioned from being a welder to an electrician in the early 1970’s, working at industrial construction throughout Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. In the late 1990’s, he transitioned into electrical inspection and supervisory roles which he excelled at because of his meticulous nature. He was a proud member of the IBEW Local 424 for 45 years.
