Sadly we announce the passing of Albert Prins on November 18 in Delta. Albert proudly worked as a Locomotive Engineer for the CN for 46 years. In his younger days, he was in the Navy Reserve for 3 years and was very handsome in his uniform. Bert was a dedicated soccer coach for the Delta youth soccer association. He was also an RCMP volunteer working the traffic check points for 10 years enjoying every minute. After retirement, he became an avid cyclist and competed in the BC senior games several times. Bert loved to cook and often had some Dutch treat cooking for all to share. His favourite stories were about his youth in the Netherlands and the long journey coming to Canada at the age of 14.
He will be sadly missed by his wife Sheila, daughter Michelle (Steve), son Randy (Lee-Anne)and precious grandchildren Coleton, Harrison and Siobhan. Bert had many relatives and friends here and in the Netherlands. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the charity of your choice.
