Albert Leon Belcher

Albert Leon Belcher, 72, of Snohomish, WA passed away April 2, 2011.
He was born December 29, 1938 in Kanawha, WV and spent his childhood and school years in Charleston, WV. He was the son of Herman Sr. and Edith Belcher.
Albert moved to Washington around 1959. He married Marie Bohl soon after. He worked for Sound Casket and Collins Casket in Everett as a painter. He then went on to S.A.W. Cabinet Shop in Silvana. He was very talented at painting. After leaving S.A.W he went on to work at Boeing, retiring in 1995 with the "golden handshake." He later took on an extra job at Delta in Snohomish. Albert enjoyed working with people, going to the Casino once in a while for breakfast, always hoping to win the big one.
Albert always enjoyed going to Skagit Speedway with his three children. He went quite often in the summer with Candace.
He is survived by his wife, Marie; four children and their families, Candace and Richard Horton, Arla and Jeff Yundt, Kevin Belcher and friend Annette. Also Frankie Emunson and Chuck; six grandchildren, Christopher and Kyle Russell, Megan and Travis Horton, Crystal and Holly Klinger, one brother Herman and his wife Shirley, niece's Monica, Maylyn and a nephew Matt. He leaves numerous relatives and friends in West Virginia, too many to list.
He was preceded in death by his father, Herman, and mother, Edith, and two infant sisters.
We would like to give a special thanks to our good friends Sherman and Judy Olson for all their special help and care, also the doctors and nurses at Providence Oncology and to Hospice. They were all wonderful.
There will be a memorial for Albert, Saturday, April 23, 2011 at the Grange on 2nd St. in Snohomish at 1 p.m. Cremation arrangements are under the care of Solie Funeral Home and Crematory, Everett.
