Passed away at Hamilton General Hospital on Tuesday, April 30, 2019. Albert will be sadly missed by his life partner and best friend Jo-Marie Martin (nee Murray), dad to Scott (Shelley), grandfather to Darcy and Dax. Brother to Fred (Carol), Diane (Kevin) and predeceased by Jack. Brother-in-law, uncle, great- uncle and friend to many. Albert’s passions were his family, his dog Puff, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the railway and the open highway. Take a drive down the highway or a ride on the train, and remember him for the passionate, loving man he was. Albert’s wishes were to be cremated, with no Visitation or Funeral, but rather a Celebration of Life, BBQ style, at home later in the warmer weather. We would like to thank the Hamilton General Hospital Cardiac Unit for their care and guidance through this difficult time. Donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and to the Halton 4-H Junior Extension. Letters of condolence, shared stories and memorial donations may be left for the family online at www.mckersie-kocher.ca
POELSTRA, Albert John
