Goebel, Albert C.:
May 11, 1921 - April 29, 2020

Albert passed away from complications of COVID-19 while residing at Trinity Village Long Term Care, Kitchener.

He was the son of the late Philip Goebel and Emilia Muller of Neudorf, Sask. Albert had 12 siblings and was the last surviving member of his family.

Albert enlisted in WWII in Regina, Sask in January of 1942 and served in the 1st Canadian Army Corp Service (Tipper Platoon) in Europe. He was honourably discharged in March 1946. Prior to the war, Albert moved to Kitchener, Ontario and worked at Dominion Tire (Uniroyal) both before and after the war for 45 years.

Albert met Louise Bennett and they married in July 1947. Lou passed in March 1990 and Albert married Lorraine Moser in the summer of 1991. Lorraine passed in December of 2009.

Albert was a proud member of the Canadian Legion Kitchener Branch 50 and Waterloo Branch 530 for over 50 years.

He attended Grace Lutheran Church and, more recently, the Historical St. Paul's Lutheran Church.

Albert loved going to Holland for the Liberation Celebrations and attended from 2005 to 2018. He travelled through France, Belgium, Holland and parts of Germany on his visits. Albert made many friends during his visits to Holland and he spoke of them often. They provided him with many, very cherished memories.

Albert is survived by four children, 4 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Keith - Brett, Jill and Bob Young (deceased), Dane and Linda Lesperance - Shawn and Niki Goebel (Sam and Connor), Ken and Teresa Goebel (Casey, Cooper and Skyler), Stacey and Jon Carere (Mariah, Kayden and Ethan) and Faye.
