Albert E. Rhein, Sr., age 93, passed peacefully in Lakewood, CO, on August 25, 2025.
He touched many lives with his love, wisdom, humor, and unwavering spirit of perseverance. He was a passionate husband, father, and grandfather.

He was born January 24, 1932, served in the U.S. Navy from 1950-1952, and married Geraldine Whitcomb on November 28, 1953. Albert is survived by 99 family members: eight children, Jean, Joseph, Mary, Susan, Albert, Thomas, Timothy, and Christopher, their spouses, 22 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren.
Albert's funeral will be held on Friday, September 26, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. at Horan & McConaty, 3101 S.

The burial will be at 10:00 a.m. at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 4400 W. Kenyon Ave, Denver, CO 80236.
