Albert Cote Obituary
COTE, Albert Frederick Born in Calgary, Alberta on December 24th, 1916, Albert (Al) passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 28, 2010 after a short battle with cancer. Al was predeceased by his wife Norma and many siblings. Al was a tremendous husband, father and friend and is survived by his 2 daughters, Yvonne Atkinson (George), Lynne Grohman; 3 grandchildren, Judi-Ann, Norman, Daniel; and 7 great-grandchildren. His companion over the past 11 years, Jo Bloom, will also miss him very much. Al was a veteran of the 2nd World War and was also very active in his communities (Burnaby and Coquitlam) in various volunteer capacities. He was recognized for his long time service with the Victim Assistance program in Burnaby by the RCMP. Al and Norma took in and fostered many young adults over the years. One young man, Art Pearson, was welcomed into the family as their son. Family and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Service to be held on Saturday, December 11th, 2010 at 2pm at Como Lake United Church, 535 Marmont St., Coquitlam, BC.

We came to know Al through his many years of volunteering with Victim Assistance. He went about his work quietly, with great wisdom and care. We so enjoyed hearing Al's stories of early life in Burnaby, war time,and his racetrack adventures. What a sense of humour! He will be truly missed by all those who were lucky enough to have been able to count Al as a friend.
Sincerely,
Debbie and Howard Walden

To The Cote Family and Jo,
I have so much enjoyed having Al and a neighbour and friend over the past nine years I have lived at The Victoria. Al was a man who thought carefully before he spoke. He often shared his wisdom in an encouraging way. He will be missed.
Regards, NIta Townsend
