Albert Frederick Hanna Sr., 96, died November 9, 2026. A resident of Yorba Linda, California, Albert’s life was marked by steady devotion, hard work, and a quiet wisdom that guided those who knew and loved him. He will be remembered with deep respect and enduring affection.
At 21 years of age, Albert joined the Airforce and served during the Korean War—an early chapter that reflected his bravery and loyalty, and a commitment to something larger than himself. He later built a remarkable career in aerospace, retiring from Boeing after 45 years. Through decades of dedicated work, he earned the admiration of others not through fanfare, but through reliability, perseverance, and the kind of steadfast character that leaves a lasting imprint.
Albert was a loving husband to Joaquina and a devoted father to Sid, Albert Jr., and Paul. He was also the proud grandfather of 7 grandchildren, and was deeply beloved within his family—present in the ways that matter most, with constancy, care, and a protective strength.
In his personal life, Albert’s adventurous spirit showed in the places and pastimes he enjoyed. He loved visiting the Las Vegas casinos, following the Notre Dame Football Team, and watching Western Shows. He also loved traveling to Zion National Park, Utah—drawn to the beauty of the landscape and the sense of wonder that comes with the open road.
A devout Catholic, Albert lived his faith with sincerity and purpose. He was a founder of Knights of Colombus at St Martin de Porres, giving his time and leadership in service to his parish community—an expression of devotion rooted in loyalty, fellowship, and enduring belief.
