Book of Memories for Albert Piccioni

Although I never met you, Albert, I was very impressed by your roommate's comments, which fitted your dad, Brian to a 'T'. I was his Scout master and like Dave, can see that many of his personality traits and qualities were passed on to you. Wes Jones.

Condolence From Wes and Jean Jones

Dear Marie, Brian and family, We were saddened to learn from Dave last night of Albert's untimely death. We were with Dave in BC at the time. If we had been here, we definitely would have been with you in this time of sorrow. Sincerest condolences, Wes and Jean Jones.

Albert, I want you to know that the man who saw you in to your short life was one of my best buddies when I was growing up. We went up through the Scouting movement together and spent many times camping on Mount Rougemont in Quebec. They were some of the best times of my life. We got picked on together in high school at RVRHS. The group we hung with were a little ``different``. I still remember your Dad trying to row across the Richelieu River in an 8 foot boat he made in woodshop...going around in circles...heading towards Chambly. After losing contact with your Dad we somehow managed to track each other down 30 years later. I'm still glad I can call him my friend. All the best to your family. Dave Jones Langley, BC

My deepest condolences goes to Albert's family and friends. I didn't personally know him, but I would see him around Acton High School and he just knew how to make people laugh. He was really good friends with some of my friends, and I know that they're missing him too. I know that he was an intelligent guy and had such a bright future, and I was truly shocked when I heard the news of his passing. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Albert's family. I never had the pleasure of meeting Albert but my daughter was a classmate of his at Acton High and spoke of him often. It seems he had an impact on a lot of students and will be missed. Praying for the family. May you find strenght in each other and the memories of your son.

When I first met Albert a little over a year ago he was the first new face I had encountered at Brock. We were both being dropped off at our neighboring rooms by our families and ran into each other in the bathroom we would share over the next school year. Albert started off by being very bold and commenting on the shortcomings of his program and how much older I looked than him, This is what always struck me about Albert; Although he was undeniably socially awkward apart from while playing Starcraft or exploring Reddit, he never shied away from an opportunity to add his opinion (great opinions) and try to add some humour. His humour was an insight into his mind and although often misunderstood, always appreciated and entertaining. We grew to have a comfortability with each other that few roommates get to enjoy, we were both relatively tidy, enjoyed our space, stayed up late and always had different times that we needed the bathroom. If anyone had reason to complain, it was Albert because I absent mindedly locked him out of the bathroom at least 20 times. When I apologized to him for it, he simply taught me how easy it was to unlock it again. Albert was always in his room when I had locked myself out and needed to get in through the bathroom and was always making a sarcastic but well deserved remark about my forgetfullness. We banded together over mutual hatred of car alarms and mutual love of simple living. When Albert and I parted ways with a hug and a what I thought to be assumed knowledge that our paths would likely cross again, he left his room unlocked. I walked in to find all of his furniture in the wrong spots and his floor covered in sticks. Knowing that this would surely result in a fine, I happily cleaned it up knowing that I owed him a lot. Unfortunately our paths never did cross again due to different programs and his love of keeping to himself but I do know this. Albert led that solitary lifestyle by choice and did love the people in his life, he may have been quick to make satirical remarks of others lifestyles but he was just as quick to help them with homework. Albert was a roommate more than a friend but a friend none the less and I thank God for his presence in my life. Prayers go out to the family and friends of Albert and i truly do miss you.

Albert, you were an unique and wonderful mind, a pleasure to teach and a honour to know. You made my classroom fun and interesting every day. "Shaka, when the walls fell." (A Star Trek episode I'll always remember you by.)
