It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Albert James Wills on November 18, 2021 at the age of 76. Predeceased by his mother Mabel, father Albert Sr., and brother Graham. Albert left behind his best friend and true love of 52 years Denise, his beloved daughter Rebecca and cherished grandson Grayson. Albert will also be truly missed by his sisters Rosemary and Arlene (Barry), brother-in-law Bob, sister-in-law Gayle, nephews, nieces and countless family and friends.
Albert was a true family man, a master in the kitchen, a beautiful wood carver and lover of the outdoors. He found joy in spoiling “his girls” with his culinary creations over a glass (or two) of wine, baking homemade bread, teaching Grayson how to grow organic fruits and veggies and simply puttering around.
Albert was born in Montreal, Que. and grew up in the town of Prescott, Ontario where he found a love for fishing and hunting with his pals. He moved to Toronto to go to radio college and met his love, Denise. He had a passion for airplanes and flying and had had many adventures in his own private plane his co-pilot Denise.
Albert spent his career in the electronics business and became an entrepreneur, building his own business from the ground up. He could fix almost anything and was a bit of a mad scientist with his electronic inventions. He and Denise travelled to many destinations including Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, Europe, and Amazon. But his favorite place was always Barbados, where he spent innumerable vacations making memories with friends and family.
Albert was a mentor and father figure to many and was proud to offer guidance and advice when asked. He loved fiercely and purely. If he loved you, you knew it and were better because of him. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society donate.bccancerfoundation.com/
