Although he was referred to as a “workaholic,” Albert always made time to spend with his family. He was a loving husband, a great father, and the best “Opa” to his grandchildren. Aside from his career, Albert loved fishing, boating, camping, singing (in the shower), playing cards, and Dutch soccer among many things. He was known to be a jokester, always making people laugh. Albert was involved in the Cosmopolitan Club and the Dutch club. He will truly be missed by all those who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Janny Bosgraaf; sons, Gerald Bosgraaf (Kelly) and John Bosgraaf (Fran); brothers, Frans Bosgraaf and Martin Bosgraaf (Dina); sister, Lida Nieboer (Jan); grandchildren Autumn, Hannah, Jacqueline, and Meghan; as well as many other close family members and friends.
