Family Members:

Albert Bernard Rimar age 100, passed away 8/16/2024. He was born May 24, 1924 in Detroit, Michigan to Sylvia and Ralph Rimar. Though he lived through the Depression, and fought in Europe during WWII after landing on Normandy on the fifth day after the invasion, he never let these events shape his life in a negative way. He became a dedicated husband for 70 years to his wife Gloria, who he met on a blind date. He was a loving father to his three children and always found time to play baseball, vacation, camp, sail, and advise. His humor and quotes were renowned, as reflecting his military influence.He was a full-time member of the Air National Guard as a hydraulic specialist for most of his life, until he retired at age 55. He loved airplanes and obtained his general pilots license when he was age 68. In retirement, he and Gloria traveled and were always involved with their grandchildren, with summers on Lake Huron and winters in Florida. He was a man who lived through many historical events and in his passing, takes with him knowledge and wisdom we will no longer be able to query. He will be missed greatly.

He is survived by his survived by his sister, Diane Rimar. Son and daughter-in-law, Steven Rimar (Janet), daughter, Nancy Rimar-Howard. Loving grandchildren: Ryan (Carol), Leah and Zachary Howard; Kalen Rimar (Sarah), Lauren Latin (Itamar), and Alex Rimar. Adoring great grandchildren: Jacob and Hannah Rimar; Isaac and Lev Latin.
