Albert married Teresa Poliuk in 1951. They were together on their farm in Wales for fifty-eight years, until Teresa’s death in 2010. He was also predeceased by his son, James M. Jette, his brother and sister-in-law, Edward and Anita Jette of Wales, his brother-in-law William Chevalier, several nephews, aunts and uncles. He leaves two sisters, Hermine Hurst and her husband Francis of Chicopee, and Virginia Chevalier of Peterborough New Hampshire.

Albert worked in many vocations throughout his life. He was employed as a short order cook, logger and textile worker among other things. He worked in the textile industry for many years and was employed at Ware Knitters and Hardwick Knitters. He also raised cattle on his farm in Wales until his death. He was an active volunteer for the Wales Recreation Department and took care of the town beach for 35 years. Albert was a communicant at St Anne’s church in Fiskdale, MA and had many friends at the Holland Community Center. He loved animals, particularly “his damn cows” as Mom would say. He enjoyed music and dancing, and in his younger days, he liked to go fishing, hunting and being outdoors. He was very proud of the self-sufficiency of the farm in the early years of their residency in Wales.
