ALBANESE,

Husband, father, grandfather, provider, teacher, knowledge seeker.
Born November 12, 1924, in Port Arthur, Ontario Died December 5,
2007, in Thunder Bay of complications following a stroke, aged
By Monica STOROZUK,
Page L8
Philip was an ordinary man who believed in living responsibly
and simply. His life was dedicated to the enjoyment of family
and Friends and to the pursuit of knowledge.
He was born in Port Arthur, now Thunder Bay, to an Italian immigrant
family. Until the age of 5 he spoke only Italian. He was a reserved
child but enjoyed school and playing outdoors with Friends.
At 18, he joined the army with his twin brother, Rino. Together
they served for three years overseas during the Second World
War. The experience had a positive and lasting effect on Philip.
Sixty years later, he declined to apply for veterans' assistance,
saying, "Why should they pay me? I should pay them for all they
did for me."
When the war was over, Philip attended university and became
a high-school teacher. He met and married Geraldine
MORROW, proposing
to her on Valentine's Day. They soon began a family; within a
dozen years they had seven children.
Philip was sensitive to beauty in its many forms. Although his
sensibilities relaxed over the years, he never surrendered a
deep sense of propriety.
His vast knowledge, acquired through extensive reading, stretched
from history and geography to politics, world affairs, art, architecture
and music. His appetite for learning never diminished. At 80,
when asked about a book he was reading, he replied with great
enthusiasm, "Quantum physics. I always wanted to know about quantum
physics."
His quest for knowledge was aided by his lack of interest in
perfection. In many ways he was an anti-perfectionist. The front
steps need repair? They can wait. The shirt needs pressing? No
big deal. Time was precious and shouldn't be wasted on the mundane.
Philip knew the value of simple pleasures. In the 1960s, he purchased
a piece of property in the country and spent many hours there.
In his retirement, he and Geri built a small cabin out of recycled
wood and used nails. Someone called it the Bothy, a Scottish
word for a simple shelter, and the name stuck. Philip spent a
lot of time at the Bothy, gardening, puttering and reading.
In the hours before his death he stayed engaged in the conversation
around him, as he had done all his life. As family members quietly
talked about a trip to Italy and tried to recall the name of
a town near Verona, he excitedly blurted out the name, surprising
everyone.
In a fitting tribute to his legacy, Philip was buried with simple
tokens of remembrance: the key to the Bothy, a package of tomato
seeds, a copy of Vanity Fair, a few coins representing thrift,
and loving notes from his grandchildren.
Monica STOROZUK is Philip's daughter.

ALBRECHT, J.I.
Famous for telling it like it is, doing whatever he could, whenever
he could for his Friends and family, and chewing on an ever present
cigar but never smoking one, passed away in peace while still
wishing he could have done a little more for us all on March 11,
2008 in Toronto. Born in Saint_James, New York on February 15,
1931, J.I.
ALBRECHT was preceded in death by his father Herman
and mother Sadie, wife Katherine Logan and beloved son Roderick.
J.I. is survived by his forever loved ex-wife Anna
ALBRECHT,
his dear sons Hunter and Dean and their wives Tracey and Terri
and his beautiful grandchildren Tyler, James, Savannah, and Haley.
J.I. graduated from Georgia Military College and began his career
in football after losing an eye in college and choosing the closest
thing to war, which was football, which then became his life's
calling. His career of helping others realize their dreams in
sports and in life spanned over 5 decades and began after attending
Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn and
GMC at the University
of Tennessee as a 19 year old kid under Gen. Robert Neyland.
He then went on to work for several National Collegiate Athletic
Association teams working as a recruiter and assistant coach
building a loyal network that rivaled any modern day rolodex
in pro-football history. He then moved onto the pros working
for the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders,
L.A. Raiders, San Diego Chargers, and the New England Patriots.
In the Canadian Football League he served as General Manager
for the Grey Cup winning Alouettes and the Toronto Argonauts
and also worked for the Shreveport Pirates and the Ottawa Rough
Riders. He made an attempt to bring a Canadian Football League
Franchise to the Maritimes, a place that always held a special
place for him. Never afraid of a challenge, he didn't stop at
trying to only create an expansion franchise in the pros. He
even started a new Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union football
team at the University College of Cape Breton where he fielded
just 21 players and imported his life long friend George Brancato
and his coaching staff of one to compete against some of the
top college football teams in the country. In the pros he recruited
many great and future hall of famers including Wally Buono, Larry
Smith, Junior Ah You, Gordon Judges, Steve Smear, Dan Yochum,
Ed George, John Huard, Wonderful Monds, Anthony Davis, Johnny
Rodgers, Coach Marv Levy and Mike Clemons, and too many others
to mention. A man he called the toughest player he had ever known
and one of his best Friends whom he considered a son, carved
him a custom helmet plaque out of wood inscribed, JI, eye in
the sky, others said he was a man who saw more with one eye than
most did with two. He was quick to laugh and quick to cry. Known
as anything but unemotional. Recently, after a lifetime of telling
people his name was just initials, he finally told his friend
Earl MacRae what it stood for and our family and his Friends
couldn't agree more, the initials he was known by J.I. actually
stood for Just Incredible. J.I.
ALBRECHT, one of a kind, will
