My dear friend Hon. Albert Ludwig, continue to rS>P. I miss our conversations over a coffee or meal. You were a very kind and thoughtful soul.

I still remember when I sat with him and his wife Lavone in the Hotel Palliser when I was a young girl, new to Calgary.

My dear boss, Philip W. Heighton, was present as well. We all had such a great time that evening.

A few weeks later Lavone and I had dinner in the Owls Nest in the Calgary Inn. There, she told me about their first child and his tragic fate.

What memories. I treasure them to this day.

Deepest condolences to family and friends of Albert...Albert was a friend and violin student of mine and we had many enjoyable hours together playing music and visiting...He knew my family from up in Rycroft and he told me that the Glowasky's were a good family and never came into his court room...A relief to hear...Albert would come and here me play many times at various restaurants and at the Calgary Flames hockey games...Albert was a vibrant person loving life and living it to the fullest. He will be missed.

I met Albert on several occasions. He invited me into his home in University Heights during one of my early federal election campaigns. His house had an enviable position overlooking a park and he was taking care to water the immense tree in his front yard. He took far better care of his plantings than I ever did. I was also invited to speak at the Knights of the Round Table. I gave a powerpoint presentation on the Song of Roland, Charles Martel, El Cid and Godfrey of Bouillon. Albert was gracious. His was a life well lived.

ALBERT and I both ran to be City of CALGARY Alderman in the 1998 general election. Neither of us won that year. In will say that after 20 years and many more elections Albert Ludwig stands out as one the classiest and most accomplished people I have had the pleasure to encounter in all that time. His example of principal and civility would be an improvement to political or indeed any discourse today.

Curt,

I would like to offer you and your family our deepest and most sincere condolences and may the soul of your dad rest in peace. Just seems like not too long ago, my siblings and you and yours were delivering pamphlets while your dad was running in the election.

I just read the obituary of Albert and started to reminisce of the times we shared while walking, sharing a meal or most importantly playing English billiards. We shared our experiences of life very openly, whether it be his military background, education or family, for me it was the system, education and family through my First Nation upbringing. His experiences allowed me to accept myself, take ownership, be responsible and create a world of acceptance. Our discussions held nothing back whether it be Spiritual, Mental, Emotional or Physical. Alberta really allowed me to be me, his wisdom and knowledge can never be replaced. To this day I often refer back to our many discussions. He was very inspirational and through our many games of English billiards very competitive.

I travelled to Calgary when he moved from the north and once again our lives continued for an evening and a day at the Calgary Stampede.

There will always be memories as our times were precious as we both travelled through the trials of life on different paths. The sharing and caring will always remain. I will be forever grateful he was a part of my life, we will meet again my Friend. My prayers to the family, for what you gave me acceptance.

I had the privilege to work on Albert’s 1997 provincial campaign. Albert served as a role model for what a politician should aspire to be. Albert encouraged me to run for office. From 2004-2012, representing Calgary Varsity, I attempted to rise to the standards that Albert had set and demonstrated.

My sincerest condolences to Judge Ludwig’s (as I still think of him) family and dear friends. I worked with Judge Ludwig at the Calgary Provincial Court, Judges’ Chambers up until he retired. He was a great gentleman to work for.

Albert was an active member of our AirCrew Association of Southern Alberta since inception 1987 and was a member of a group of POW ‘s that started this group. His presence helped establish a very active Association that met weekly at the Calgary Garrison Officer’s Mess and retained an active Royal Canadian Air Force presents in Calgary. The Association moved to the Royal Canadian Legion # 285 in 2014 and had it’s last meeting as an Association May 18 2017. Albert was will be well remembered by the remaining members of this Association for his great contribution to us and to Canada.
