It is with a deep sense of loss that the family of Albert G. Barbour announces his passing at the age of 90 years on April 22, 2010. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, an affectionate brother and friend to many. Albert leaves his wife Sadie to whom he was happily married for 68 years; daughters: Linda Goff (Gaius) of Forest Grove, OR; Doris Taylor (Kenneth) of Amherst, NS; Lillian MacDougall (Raeburn) of Dunrobin, ON: Elizabeth Goff (Scott) of Forest Grove, OR; Louise Kapoor (Richard) and Ruth Barbour (Grant) both of St. John's; sons: Edgar Barbour (Beverly) and Stephen Barbour (Lois) both of St. John's, one sister Anita Green of St. John's, sister-in-law Doris Barbour (Calvin); brother-in-law Frank Way (Hazel) both of Newtown BB; sister-in-law Carrie Barbour of St. John's; brother-in-law John Gill of Newtown, BB; 18 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Albert accepted the Lord Jesus Christ at his personal Saviour on June 26, 1946 through the words of Acts 16:31: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." He loved his Lord and sought to introduce others to the Saviour. The family is comforted with the assurance that he is now at home with his Lord.
