It is with profound sadness that the family of Albert “Bert” Leonard Albertson of Gimli, MB, announce his peaceful passing on April 16, 2021, at the age of 85 years.

He will be lovingly remembered by his children Susan Anderson and Carol-Anne Albertson (William); Grandchildren Alexandria (Adam) and Melanie Anderson; Great grandchildren Henry and Audrey; brothers Herb (Laurel) and Ken (Donna); and his cherished friend Dorothy. Bert was born in Gimli MB and spent his childhood in Beresford Lake MB, Langford BC and Pine Falls MB. After marriage Bert and his family lived in Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto and Tillsonburg before settling down in Grand Bend, ON where he lived for over 45 years. Bert loved the outdoors, travel and spending time with his family. Bert was admired for his generosity and kindness. He was an active leader in many community organizations dedicating many volunteer hours to the Canadian Cancer Society, Southcott Pines Association, Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce, Probus Club and Grand Bend Rotary Club. Recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow he modelled his life after the Rotary motto “Service Above Self”. The family would like to thank the staff of the Jackson Creek Retirement Home and Peterborough Regional Health Centre for their care and compassion.
