ALBERT KISH

A few years ago I visited Albert who was in hospital. He said "old age is not for Sissies" which I thoroughly concurred with being round about my 90th year. Albert had a charming wit and vivacity. I wish we had more people like him.

Dear Colin and Cathy;

Your Dad was an inspiration and rare talent. The legacy of that lives on, and will be with you always. I know you will be surprised by your own strength through all of this, that somehow you are able to cope and take care of so many things. Where does that strength come from? Who knows, but it is the first part of a gift that of reaffirming everything your Dad imparted to you, and the second part will be in the daily reminders of just how precious life is that you will notice ever more now that he is gone. Losing a parent is very hard, I know that, but it makes us better human beings.

Much Love:

My deepest sympathies to Albert's loved ones. In 1977, riding In the car with Albert and David Sharples on our way to the première of Bekevar Jubilee in Saskatchewan, I remember thinking there was so much sky and land but so little of us. Whenever I see a beautiful and vast stretch of land and sky I think of Albert.

Dear Family of Albert Kish,

I first met Albert at the NFB in Montreal in 1980 and was immediately charmed by this brilliant.witty, talented and compassionate man. I adored his dark sense of humour and his unique films, particularly "This is a Photograph", which was pure genius and vintage Kish. He was a special soul who brought delight to those around him. Albert's star will never diminish!

My sincere condolences,
Halya Kuchmij

One of a kind, so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you in the coming days.

He made many important contributions and will leave a lasting legacy.

Albert will be missed and remembered.

Dear Colin and Family:
I remember meeting your father at your wedding. He was an interesting man indeed and memorable. I am very sorry for your loss and send my love and support to you and your family. I am sorry that I am unable to come on Sat. but will be there in spirit. This summer I think we should toast your father with some fine wine and perhaps Foie Gras.He is now with the "best" of them. Sending you much love and sympathy...
