I never met Jo but I knew Albert from the train station in Prescott and really liked him…Then, my family relocated and became their neighbours on Zaire Street. My nephew Curtis has many fond memories of Albert and Jo whom he said was ‘sweet and super nice’…Albert was very proud of his family and spoke of them lovingly as I waited for my train to Toronto. I’m glad the Van Essen family came to Prescott and made it a better place. Sincere condolences to this wonderful family.
