Roy Albert Southfield, Mich. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go. God bless the ground, for I shall walk softly there, and learn by going where I have to go.
Roy Irving Albert passed away on Feb. 9, 2021, at the age of 96, surrounded by family.
He was born in Norway, where he spent his childhood years nurturing his love of nature in this bucolic setting. He would always reminisce about his days down on the river fishing and camping, as well as his time on the farm. He worked at his father’s one-room grocery store for “one dollar a day” as a teen.
