Nicki, Dean: So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember having a nice conversation with him at Nicki's wedding; talking about the old Eaton's days. - Posted by: Sue Tecter (Friend) on: May 21, 2015

Albert was the "Driver's Driver." He provided legendary service to mant VERY picky customers over his employment. As a Cartage driver I was called one day to help Albert as his usual helper was sick. I arrived at his truck and he looked at my black socks and quietly suggested I change them. Unsure of why I went to the uniform area in the warehouse and got a pair of white ones. I wasn't sure why until we arrived at a house on Wellington Cres. and backed in to deliver the load of very expensive Italian furniture. The lady of the house opened the door and Albert took off his shoes. I did the same and Albert advised that black socks may leave marks on Madam's carpets so white were needed. The lady of the house let us in and we were there for most of the morning rearranging and moving a lot of stuff. Through this all Albert remained cool as a cucumber and perfectly pleasant. On leaving the lady advised me that I would do well to follow in Albert's footsteps if I was ever to make a success of myself. Good advice and I really enjoyed working around Albert - a man to follow (in white socks.) Rest in Peace, Albert - Posted by: Allan Tucker (Fello Eatonian) on: May 17, 2015

Fae, Nicki, Dean and all of the Frohwerk and Thorkelsson families. On behalf of the Doberstein's, Art and Vi, Donna, Lisa and myself, please accept our heartfelt condolences for Albert's passing. Personally, I will remember him as a soft-spoken gentleman and as a car guy too, how he loved those Fords!!! - Posted by: Wade Doberstein (Family Friend) on: May 16, 2015
