 GRISCOWSKY
Albert was born on October 5, 1922 at Hatton, Saskatchewan, the third child of Christian and Annie. He passed away on January 31, 2012 in Medicine Hat, Alberta at the age of 89 years. Albert was predeceased by his parents, Christian and Annie; sisters, Erna and Louise (Howard) Benn, and brother - Fred.
Albert's memory and his devotion to Helen, his wife of 56 years, is cherished by his four sons and their families: Brian and Darlene of Aldergrove, BC and their children - Wyatt, Dakota, Cassidy, and Jordan (Clarke Kruger); Jordan and Clarke's children - Khyson, Marleia, and Ceilheb; Calvin of Medicine Hat, Alberta and his children - Turner, Davis, and Brett; Merlin and Shawnee of Calgary, Alberta and their children - Magdelin, Cohle, Emma, and Maya; Lindsey and Shawna of Medicine Hat, Alberta and their children - Jaimsey, Rowen, and Paige.
Albert spent the first 5 years of his life in the Golden Prairie area before moving with his family to Medicine Hat so he could begin school. He completed his schooling to the end of Grade 10 in Medicine Hat - taking one year off between Grades 5 and 6 to remain home and assist his mother during her recovery from major surgery. After completing his schooling, Albert joined his father and brother working at Medalta Potteries on the production line during the day. In addition, they worked the nightly job of unloading raw clay from railcars in fifty tonne segments. Albert left Medalta to begin a career in autobody repair, welding,
and automotive painting to which he remained loyal until he retired. His first job in his new career was at Beny Motors, after which he took a job at Dempster Motors, where he met and began dating Helen Herrmann. In September of 1956, they married. Albert purchased Dempster Motors Autobody Shop in the early 1950’s where he continued his craft. In 1972, Albert obtained employment with the Department of National Defence at CFB Suffield in the Base Maintenance department, where he applied his skills until his retirement in 1987. From shortly after they met, Albert and his brother-in-law Wally Kanwischer developed a very close and treasured kinship, which was cemented through many epic chess battles and many rounds of golf together.
The Griscowsky family wants to extend special thanks to Dr. Alphin, Dr. Ciubotaru and Dr. Mi, the Nurses and Staff at the Sunnyview Care Centre at the South Country Village, and the staff at the Senior Services Day Hospital at the Medicine Hat Hospital, as they all contributed excellent care to Albert in his later years.
