He came to Canada in 1928 with many other young men in his age group and worked on farms in this area until 1937, when he and Lillian Murphy were married in Prince Albert. They bought the Prince Albert store shortly afterward. In 1944 he joined the Armed Forces and served overseas until the end of the war, arriving home in late 1945.

He kept in touch with his brother and sisters in England, visiting them at least 8 times, the last being in 1987. Albert had a great love of music, both sacred and secular. He had a special liking for George Formby songs, and entertained audiences on many occasions, and will be remembered for his special rendition of many of those songs. He was quite sports- minded, and enjoyed par- ticipating in golf and curling, making many friends along the way. D) Left to mourn his passing are his wife Lillian, son Donald, daughter Sandra, also 5 grand- children and many other relatives and friends. A funeral service was held at the Wagg Funeral Home in Port Perry on Friday Sept. 22 at 2 p.m. Interment Pine Grove Cemetery. Rev. R. LePage and Rev. D. Tansley officiated.

Carla's Eulogy for Grandpa: On behalf of the grandchildren, myself (Carla), my sisters Coleen and Leanne, and my cousins Brent and Scott, we wish to ex- press the admiration we felt for our grandfather. He guided us through many of the fine points of living such as: The joy of laughter, by sharing his many humorous stories with us, his extreme love of music, which always encouraged us to sing along with him, his ability to grow healthy and beautiful flowers, plants and vegetables, has left us with an appreciation of nature. His many trips has left us with an adventurous yearning to travel, and his devotion and dedication to serve his community, has left us with the importance of helping and caring for others. We will always miss our grand- father, but his spirit will continue to guide and direct us through life.
