Albert Peter Dyck

November 9th, 2018

Albert Dyck, loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather passed away on November 09, 2018. Albert is survived by his wife, Elvera of 65 years; sons, Wayne (Kathy), Melvin (Andrea); daughter, Dianne (Les); grandchildren, Rogan, Lauren, Daryl (Jason), Aaron (Erin), Janine and Allison; and great-grandchildren Bennett, Ryan, Emerson and Farrah. Albert was born and raised near Hanley, SK where he met and married Elvera. Albert’s career in furniture sales took them to many places in western Canada that they called home, retiring in Calgary to be near family in 1996. The family thanks the doctors and nurses at the Rockyview General Hospital for their attentive care and compassion.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations may be made to the

Our sincerest condolences to Elvera and the family. We have known Al and Elvera for many years. Followed Al to his many locations and homes. Always received a warm welcome (and usually one of Elvera's excellent meals). His gentle humour and exuberant enthusiasm will long be remembered.

I have known Albert for 50 years and he was always bright, cherry and happy to see me. A good Man has passed to his eternal reward. Condolences to the entire Dyck family.

"Uncle Abbie" as I called him as a young child. I don't know how that originated. However, my life with him and Aunt Vera crossed paths many times. From sticking my finger in their wedding cake( I hope Aunt Vera has forgiven me), to being in Calgary when I first moved there, to also being in Edmonton when Bill and I moved to Morinville. It was always comforting to have "family" near by. After Dad died, we'd call each other from time to time. As he got older, he reminded me sooo much of Dad. Some same expressions and mannerisms. I was so glad to visit him at Rockyview after his diagnosis. Even then he had a few " stories" to tell of their younger days. My sympathies to all of you - Aunt Vera, Wayne and Kathy and your family, Mel and Andrea and your family, and Dianne and Les, and your family. Lots of great memories to pass along and remember. Always in your hearts!❤️❤️

Our thoughts and our Prayers are with you all. Love Eric Shelley Froese and family

Condolences to Elvera and family on the loss of their husband, father and grandfather Albert. I will always remember him a a sweet gentle man.

Condolences to the Dyck family, Uncle Albert was raised in the same house that I have spent my whole life in. It was real special when he visited our house several years ago and all the comments he had. Rest in peace......... Arny,Shannon&Brody

My sincere sympathy on the loss of Mr. Dyck.I always felt very welcome into the Dyck household many many years ago when I had the privilege of stopping by for verenikie with Mel on many occasions. Thank you for some great memories. Larry Gems

Dad... I'll forever remember the day in Kelowna when you took me to see the 10 acres you bought along the Kettle River outside Rock Creek. I believe my comment was 'You can take the boy out of the prairie, but you can't take the prairie out of the boy'. You and Mom built a home there with decks on the east and north sides of the house, so meals could always be eaten outside, morning in the sun on the east side, noon in the shade on the north side, then dinner in the evening again on the east side in the shade. We would drop the kids off, north of Rock Creek, and they would float the Kettle River back to your property. Best of times, always too short. 'Let your soul and spirit fly, into the mystic'. Love you always. Wayne
