George, Marie and Fraser,
So sorry to hear of your father's passing. Like so many have mentioned, I too have very fond memories of the early days at Marble and adventures to the Blomidon mountains and Trout River. I credit him with teaching me how ski. I also remember my first hunting trip on Killdevil Mountain that your father guided.

To George, Marie and Frazier. My deepest condolences on the passing of your dad and my teenage ski coach. Albert was more than a ski coach. he was a mentor. His encouragements to me those decades ago came flooding back this past week. I remember coach Colbourne installing a set of bindings on a pair of 195cm Blizzards in your hose back then. A little piece of Albert is permanently at Marble. Those skies are installed ion the wall in the rental shop at marble. Rest easy coach your earthly work is done.

On behalf of the Perry family and Al Greer, we offer our sincerest condolences to the family. I remember Albert as a well respected member of the Corner Brook community. He was also one of Al Greer's true friends from his time at CBC. I don't think we ever visited Al and Eleanor in Truro when Albert's name and a story didn't come up. He will be missed.

George, Marie, Fraser and families. My heartfelt condolences on behalf of myself and my siblings all of whom were touched by the lives of both Albert and Doreen. In the 37 years since I left Corner Brook I could never drive down West Valley Road without smiling as I passed the house and remembered the many gatherings at the home of our coach. A great couple who gave generously of their time to others and who’s door was always open.

Albert was my first boss at CBC TV in Corner Brook. He was the producer of our west coast edition of Here & Now. Remember those days? Albert was totally committed to portraying the stories and issues that defined life in our unique part of Newfoundland and Labrador. He was a kind, generous and encouraging leader. He led with firm competence and had the respect of us all. At the end of every program he would open his control room microphone and say to the crew, "Thank you everyone." I can still hear his voice. Thank you, Albert.
George, Marie and Frazer, my heart-felt condolences.
Sincerely,
Doug Greer

We are so sorry for your loss and the grief you are feeling. Mr.Colbourne was a true gentleman! He was always so kind to us and really listened. His cute smile and comments would certainly melt your heart. Whether we saw him at the stadium with Mrs.Colbourne, or on the road with the “hockey boys” or down to the marina or out and about town he always took the time for a chat. He was a remarkable man and one who will be truly missed. George “the apple don’t fall to far from the tree”. We are thinking of all of you and even though we are not there physically you are definitely in our thoughts. Xoxo

To all the Colbourne family,
We are saddened to learn that another good man and friend has passed away. We have known Albert and the family for a long time as neighbours and skiers and active outdoor people. We always admired the beautiful garden that Albert and Doreen so lovingly kept up. Albert taught our children to ski, and we watched as he instructed his own and contributed so much to the development of Marble Mountain. He lived a full and active life and we were very sorry to see that his health deteriorated in the last couple of years.
We send our sincere sympathy to all the family on your loss.
Bill and Jo Kennedy
