May 3, 1939 ~ September 5, 2016
Albert Schroth, 77, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on September 5, 2016. Albert died peacefully in his home, early Monday morning, with his loving wife by his side.
He leaves his wife of 47 years, Martha Schroth, his two daughters, Doris and Linda Schroth, his younger brother, John Schroth, and many other close family and friends.
He was born on May 3, 1939 in Odessa Ukraine, and was raised in Germany. He immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the early age of 15 where he helped build a life for him and his family. Albert met and married the love of his life Martha in 1969 and shortly thereafter, they had their two daughters. Albert was an incredibly gifted carpenter, and built furniture, boats, crafts, and many homes both in Winnipeg and in Gibsons BC. He also worked at School District #46 where he brought endless smiles and laughter from not only the adults he worked with, but the students he encountered.
His life was a blessing, his memory a treasure. He is loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
A memorial service will be held at 2pm on Saturday September 10, 2016 at Calvary Baptist Church, 711 Park Road, Gibsons BC for those wishing to attend. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation be made to Foundation for His Ministry (www.ffhm.org) in his honour.
