Albert Postma

Albert Postma of Blenheim passed away peacefully on February 16, 2022 just one day before his 88^th birthday.

Dad was born in The Netherlands which is where he met our mother, Ruby.  They shared over 65 years together before Mom passed away in 2019.  Our family began with five children; Trudy Timmermans (John), Fred who passed away on February 1^st, his wife Wilma and his twin brother George (Hetty), Ron Postma (Linda) and Teresa Saunders (Scott).  Dad was the proud grandfather and great-grandfather of 63 children, all of whom he was able to leave with a smile when they visited him last weekend.  If there is any consolation in Dad’s passing, it is that he has gone home to be with Mom, the person he gave credit to for the best years of his life.

Dad grew up with six siblings and is survived by his sister Wilma Radersma (Doug) and his brother Sandy Postma (Mary).  He was predeceased by Jane & John Hoogsteen, Henry & Mary Postma, Renze & Marge Postma and George Postma (survived by Anne).  He was a man of strong faith and a long-time member of the Blenheim Christian Reformed Church.  He owned his own business Postma Concrete and as a result of his mentorship, his children all pursued successful careers as business owners themselves.

Visitation for Albert will be held at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Sunday February 20, 2022 from 2 – 4 & 7 – 9 p.m. and at the Blenheim Christian Reformed Church on Monday February 21^st from 10:00 – 11:00 just prior to the Funeral Service at 11:00.

Friends wishing to remember Albert with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Chatham Christian School because that was something that was very important to him.
