Albert Wellbrock Obituary

NEWPORT NEWS - Albert H. Wellbrock, 88, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009, at The Newport in Newport News, Va., after a brief illness. You've never met a kinder, gentler man.
He was born Sep. 7, 1921, in Bogota, N.J. He served in the U.S. Army, during World War II, as an Intelligence Specialist helping to break enemy code. He retired from E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Company, Waynesboro, Va., in 1982, after 29 years of dedicated service as a Systems/Data Analyst.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 58 years, Maggie Price Wellbrock, and his only sibling, Bernice M. Keegan.
He leaves to cherish his memory, a son, Russell A. Wellbrock and his wife, Phyllis, of Hampton, Va.; a granddaughter, Pamela J. Rosen and her husband, Chris, of Stuarts Draft, Va.; a grandson, Matthew P. Wellbrock, of Hampton, Va.; two great-grandsons, Jared and Jacob Rosen of Stuarts Draft, Va.; and a number of nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held Monday, Nov. 2, 2009, from 10 to 11 a.m. at McLaurin at Pinecrest Memorial Park, 12830 U.S. Highway 70 West, Clayton, N.C. A funeral service will follow beginning at 11 a.m., with interment at Pinecrest Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial gifts be made to the American Cancer Society (cancer.org).
The family would like to express sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff, and his many friends, of the Arbors at Port Warwick. He truly loved every minute of the six years he lived there.

Many years ago, 1964-65 to be exact, I worked in the Data Processing area of DuPont in Waynesboro, VA, and Al was my 2nd-line supervisor. He was always fair and considerate, and always jovial. It was a stressful job with so many of us "youngsters," but Al always had a smile. A gentleman. Good memories.
