Andrew « Andy » David Albert
1974-2021
It is with great sadness that the family of Andrew Albert
announce his peaceful passing on Saturday, August 7, 2021, at his
brother’s home in Gatineau, QC. Born in Fort Kent,
Maine on November 8, 1974, he was the son of Carlton Albert and Mary
(Crouse) Albert.
Although Andy was born in Maine, he lived most of his life in
Canada. He graduated from Beaconsfield High, CEGEP
Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue and the University of Windsor in
Ontario. During university, one of Andy’s
professors performed stand-up comedy on weekends and it was here that
Andy found his life-long love for stand-up comedy, making it his
professional career. Acting was his second love, being cast
in movies and TV commercials. Andy also had a passion for gourmet
cooking, wine and even became a sommelier. He often
intertwined comedy, acting, cooking and wine tastings to become the
ultimate entertainer! Family and friends were of utmost
importance to Andy and he often enjoyed sharing his love of camping,
fishing, golfing, and hiking with them.
He will be dearly missed by his beloved parents, Alan and
Mary Ritchie; siblings, Carlton Albert Jr, Dan Albert, Bryan Albert,
David (Mary) Albert, Kim Waddell Knight (Steve), Pam Waddell Lavoie
(Dean), Robbie Ritchie (Marie-Claude), Peter Ritchie (Manon) and
Jean-Yves Ritchie (Chris); several nieces, nephews and extended family
members as well as his dear friends and colleagues whom he loved and
cherished.
Andy was predeceased by his father, Carlton Albert; Aunt,
Elizabeth Hanson and Cousin, David White.
A memorial gathering to honour Andy’s life will be
held at McAdam’s Funeral Home, 160 York Street on Saturday,
August 21, 2021 from 2 to 5 p.m. with Words of Remembrance at 3:00
p.m. The dress code is smart casual. The family
would appreciate if guests wear masks and respect social distancing.
For those who wish, memorial tributes in remembrance of Andy may be
made to the following Go Fund Me Page (gofund.me/e6f2928d )
where the funds will be used by Mission Old Brewery to aid the
homeless population in and around Montreal and/or to help support the
