Dear Marcelle We are truly honored and blessed to have known Albert, work with him, and laugh with him...he made this world a better place. His dedication to you, his family, his colleagues, and his community is one of his greatest accomplishments. He was simply an unselfish person who carried no grudges - we can learn from that gift he possessed. His time had arrived and he faced it with decency, respect, and courage - truly something many seek and few can do so with such pride and comfort. He was at peace, also something many strive for and few achieve. He taught us all many lessons, yes he was organized to a fault, however, that allowed him the patience to enjoy each and every encounter with others. His honesty was beyond question; his word was his commitment - he never shied away from a challenge and he gave everything to his mission. Cape Breton was fortunate to have a man who dedicated many years of his life to trying to improve the economic strength of the island - few could match his effort. We were humbly blessed to share 15 years together with the mining project. I never saw a man get so excited about an audit, including Revenue Canada - he was consistently prepared and his work was unparalleled. He enjoyed sharing stories about our efforts in advancing the projects and we will do all we can to see them to a successful conclusion. I am sure he will be watching over our efforts and perhaps he can help us avoid the land mines in some manner. We all enjoyed a great man - we will miss him and are truly honored to have had a beer together this past July and the following phone calls. Marcelle, he was truly fond and respectful of you. He shared so many memories of your time together and your wonderful trips together. If we can do anything kindly reach out. May you remember and cherish your warm times together. May Albert rest in peace. Gladys and Francis MacKenzie

Nous désirons offrir toutes nos sincères condoléances à Marcelle ainsi qu'à la famille d'Albert en l'occasion de son départ. J'ai la certitude qu'il restera dans vos cœurs, vos souvenirs et vos prières car les liens du cœur ne se rompent jamais. Albert fut apprécié par beaucoup, tant dans sa vie professionnelle que personnelle, par son dévouement, sa générosité, et sa jovialité. Quel honneur ce fut pour nous de recevoir personnellement son appel, quelques jours à peine avant d'entreprendre son grand départ! Quelle sensibilité de sa part jusqu'au dernier moment! Sachez que vous êtes tous et chacuns dans nos pensées et prières afin que vous puissiez vous sentir appuyés et reconfortés les uns les autres pendant les moments de deuil qui suivront. Dave in particular wants to express how he always thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Albert and that he took great pleasure, especially the last couple of years, in making Albert laugh, which actually was very easy. Albert was an honorable man who Dave truly enjoyed working with and had a great deal of respect for Albert, and that he already misses him. Dave and Andreanne MacNeill

Sincere condolences to Marcelle and the LeBlanc family. I was friends with Nicole and got to know and love the LeBlanc family. He had a lot of courage through his illness and is now at peace.

Albert et moi avons travaillé de très près sur divers projets à Chéticamp. Il a été ma caisse de résonance pour de nombreuses initiatives dans la communauté. Il a toujours apporté à la discussion une approche réaliste car j'étais souvent trop exubérant et rapide à agir. Ses sages conseils m'ont toujours ramené à la réalité. Nos discussions en cours me manqueront alors que nous continuions à "rêver" de projets passionnants, lui de Trois-Rivières et moi à Montréal, loin de notre territoire acadien.

Mes sincères condoléances à toi Marcelle, Donat et à la famille aLeBlanc Suzanne ( sœur de Jean Marc)
