Deeply saddened by the passing of Albert, naturally. A wonderful man with a joyous attitude. Noble in every aspect of his life. Honest, always with a heart of gold, never failing to keep up, a workaholic with no desire for monetary gain. The easiest man to work for, a wonderful father figure and mentor, friend and confidant. Life will never be the same without him. He changed my perspective on life and always had faith in me that there is always more than one way to do something right. Love you big guy. Rest in peace Albert. Sorry to everyone that had the pleasure of knowing this gracious man.

Sincerely, Kristopher Mosser

Albert is at peace. He cherished his lovely lady in pink. Only got to know you both through Brants Creek Mews, but quickly learned what a sweet heart he was and what a wonderful person you are. Think of you often and wish you the best.

Pat Mitchell. Maureen would be saying Albert was the best. Rest in Peace.

The Pellegrini Family,

As a kid growing up in the North end (Cambridge), I used to walk down to the family farm and ride the "stone boat" while Albert picked rocks. Always a hard working nice guy. Later in life Albert & I talked almost daily and always started the conversation with "us north end kids need to stick together". Always a laugh & a privilege to consider Albert a friend.

Albert was a great guy, my son and I were able to help Albert with his ranching for several years. We learned a lot about ranching but we learned more about real life and how to treat people. Albert and Denise were good to our family. We wish Denise well and we wish we could have spent more years with Albert.

Craig and Jeff Baker and family.

Dear Pellegrini Family:

Although I did not know Albert well, he had a distinct influence on my life. In the late 50's and early 60's Albert had a hot rod that I admired. That is one of the things that inspired me to love all things automotive. To this day I enjoy hot rods, thanks in a great part to Albert building a 1934 Ford coupe that was the envy of every teenager in Kelowna.

Albert was a great example of doing things right and will be truly missed.
