We have lost a great man and friend!
We have also lost as Fred would say the best damn backhoe operator in the Town Of Caledon.
I heard the story many times and Fred would say I helped Albert install the guard rails along 401 as my first job back in the 1950’s.
I am sure Albert and Fred are up in heaven together figuring out if there is some kind of project they can work on.
Thank you Ursula for taking such good care of Albert especially the last while as he was not well.

Condolences to the Clarkson family as Albert was a special person, always willing to help, always love to work, especially on his backhoe or tractors. I will never forget he made our wedding day special with his model T Ford car. He had a friend of his drive it for our special wedding day, from Bolton United Church around Bolton.

My sincere condolences to the entire family and many friends.
Albert was a very good and extremely practical man. He operated his backhoe like it was a part of his body from birth.
When I moved here in the early eighties he was already a legend.

I was able to visit with Albert on Friday and spoke of our many projects/adventures together.
The one that got a response was him getting a police call, taking a shot of whiskey, grabbing his chequebook and coming to retrieve me from an expensive Florida hospital after my motorcycle accident .
Thanks for everything Ab

Albert was a man of few words but possessed a heart of gold.
I still picture Albert, and Roy “Blackie” coming into the Riverside for lunch. But only for a short time as there was always work to be done!
Condolences to the Clarkson families. And to Ursula for taking such loving care of Albert.
I see a new cluster of stars in the night sky in the form of a backhoe, all revved up and ready to go.
Rest in peace, my friend.
Ellen Scott-Miller.

To all my dear cousins,
Very sorry to hear your father has passed away. You have my
deepest sympathy and understanding as to how you are feeling right now.
When my dad was in the hospital uncle Albert sat and talked with me for at least 3 hours one day, he was very comforting and we had this bonding feeling that I will never forget. I have a couple of great photos from the family reunion s and cherish the memories.
Hugs and love to all you…till we see each other again.
Yours truly

So sorry to hear about Albert’s passing. When we built our home in Palgrave in 1988 Albert seeded the lawn with his tractor and graded our driveway more than once. His work was always done to perfection and it was just a joy to be around him. Thankful that Joe and I got to know him.
