For the next 25 years, he was an Instructor at NB Community College - Saint John, first teaching Civil Engineering Technology and then Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). In retirement, he enjoyed traveling and lived in Saint John, Halifax, Truro and Moncton. In addition to the staff at Hospice House and the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital Palliative Care Unit, the family would like to extend special thanks to Hospice Southeast NB volunteer Daryl Cail. At Albert’s request, there will be a private family service. For those who wish, remembrances to Hospice Fredericton or Hospice Southeast New Brunswick would be appreciated.
