Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of Albert. We had you in our thoughts and prayers on Friday. The weather was just not in our favour to make it to the funeral. Take care. - Posted by: Irene {Eckhardt} and Joe Capka (Old family friends) on: Jan 05, 2014

When I first moved to Stoney Lake Bay, Albert and Ollie and their two beagles were so welcoming and kind. They watched my son grow up and moved recently when Carter was 8. When I found myself a single Mom with my son at 15 months, Albert and Ollie were always there for me. From helping me to trim broken tree branches, passing on toys to my son and always keeping a watchful eye over my home, Albert and Ollie were the best neighbours! I will always remember the time when I couldn't get into my car and was panicking trying to get my sick asthmatic son to his doctor and Albert drove me downtown for my appointment talking to me and calming me down! He was a lovely man with a kind heart and and I will be ever thankful that he was my neighbour almost 14 years. - Posted by: Kristen Hepworth (Next door neighbour since 1999) on: Jan 04, 2014
