ALBRECHT, William “Bill”-With great sadness, the family announces the sudden unexpected passing of Bill, at home, with his wife Anne at his side on Sunday, November 7, 2021, in his 90th year. Precious and loving husband of Anne Fowler. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Erma Roes (2016). Loving father of Lorraine Guenther (Roy), Sharon McKay (David), Marlene Fisher (Dennis), Bruce (Ramona), Brian (Sandi) and stepfather of Peter Fowler. Dear grandfather of 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. He will be missed by his sister Ruby Roth and his brother’s in-law and sister’s in-law; Clarence Poole, John and Emmaline Roes, Ivan and Reta Roes, Norm and Sharon Roes, Jane and Joseph Stern and Heather and Paul Adelman.

Bill had retired from farming in Crosshill, driving school bus and as a milk truck driver for Millbank Cheese and Butter. A remarkable man with a fierce loyalty to his family and friends. Unique and mischievous, he made many laugh at his jokes and pranks over the years. He loved life, so much and found much joy in planning each and every day.
