A respected elder in the First Nations community, Albert lived a long and productive life with pride. Over his 84 years he worked the coast and had many experiences. As a logger in the early days, a fisherman in the heydays, and as a captain, who trained many a skipper, in the later days.
He was a big man, outsized only by his zest for life. Always quick to make a joke or the first to lend a helping hand, Albert was a man with a compassionate heart and a wise and calming nature.
Albert will be deeply missed forever.
Albert’s family invites you to come and help celebrate his life.
