Peacefully went to be with his Lord on Monday, July 4, 2022 at Grand River Hospital – Freeport Campus at the age of 90.
Beloved husband of Ruby Martin for 64 years. Proud father of five daughters: Dianne and Marvin Gingrich, Carolyn and Jim Schill, Kate Metzger (the late Daryl), Geri and Troy Hale, Lori and Steve Smith. Loving grandfather of 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Will be missed by brothers Lorne, Angus and Ron (Jill).
Predeceased by his parents Enos and Wilhelmina, grandson Justin Weber, great-grandson Myles Vandenberg, son-in-law Jeff Weber, and brother Eldon.
Albert was a man of faith, and a lifelong member of Hawkesville Mennonite Church. He was a dedicated farmer for over forty years and was known in the community as “Apple Albert”. Throughout his life, Albert was an active and passionate member of Farm & Home Safety, the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association, and the Maple Syrup Museum of Ontario. He was an avid bowler, loved a good Blue Jays game, and never turned down a cup of coffee and friendly conversation.
