Cpl. Albert Storm served as an army cadet in his hometown of Fort Erie, ON, but he didn\u2019t initially set out to become a soldier. He had been studying to be a construction engineer when he enlisted on a trip to Alberta to visit his sister in 1990. Once Albert committed himself to life in the military, though, he excelled as a soldier and enjoyed his work.<\/p>\n

During his military career, Albert undertook peace actions in global conflicts. Before his two tours in Afghanistan, he was in Bosnia and Croatia. Although he had spent a long time in combat zones and Afghanistan was set to be his last tour of duty, he asked to extend his stay there because he still wanted to give something back.<\/p>\n

Albert was a strong man who was affectionately known as \u201cStormy.\u201d While he had a serious side, he also had a light-hearted one and a silly sense of humour. He loved to answer the phone\u2014his or anyone else\u2019s\u2014by saying \u201cPizza! Pizza!\u201d He was so well known for the phrase that his brother\u2019s friend once picked him up at the airport holding a sign with the words \u201cPizza! Pizza!\u201d instead of Albert\u2019s name. His joking side also showed itself in teasing postcards that he and his brother sent to their sister. The jokes weren\u2019t meant only for her, though; the brothers wanted to give postal workers a laugh, too.<\/p>\n

Albert was generous with others and had an affable smile. He loved his two children, his family, and his country, which he served with pride. Another of Albert\u2019s great loves was the outdoors. He enjoyed camping and fishing so much that his goal for retirement\u2014which he talked about often and which was only three years away\u2014was to spend his days fishing in Kenora, ON.<\/p>\n

No matter what Albert was doing\u2014at work or at play\u2014his motto was always, \u201cWe\u2019re good to go!\u201d<\/p>\n
