Condolence: Our heartfelt thoughts and much love to Al's family.

We will miss our travel friend Al. It was an honour for us along with my Dad, fellow WW 2 veteran, to visit the Netherlands with Al on many trips.
Jill, Dane & Linda, We will hold dear the wonderful memories of our last Netherlands tour together with your Dad in the Spring of 2018.

Condolence: And if it fall unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll raise a glass and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

I too had the pleasure - and the honour - of making Al's acquaintance at Arnhem. We commemorate history. He made it.

The Dutch are grateful for what he did.
We should all be grateful for what he and his comrades showed us that we can do.

Condolence: My deepest condolences on the passing of Albert Goebel, one of Canada's finest - taken at nearly 99 years yet far too soon. My heart breaks for his family and friends.

I had the privilege of meeting Al in my former capacity as Canada's Ambassador to the Netherlands, when he attended the annual commemorations in Arnhem. Kind and humble, but still possessed of the fire that allowed him to play his role in history.

The world is a lesser place for the passing of men like Al, ordinary men who did the extraordinary when their country and the world needed them. We will not see their like again.
