Obituary

Albert Toomer, Jr. was born in Dawson, Georgia on February 19, 1947. He was the son of the late Albert Toomer, Sr. and Bernice Jordan Toomer.

At a very early age, Albert professed his faith and belief in Christ Jesus and accepted Him as his Lord and Savior.

He attended the public schools of Dougherty County and was active in numerous school activities and events.  Having been thoroughly convinced as a youngster that he would some day drive  an 18 wheeler,     Albert continued his education at a local Truck Driving School and    completed the requirements to earn his Commercial Driver's License (CDL).  His keen interest in "big rigs" and his educational training launched his life-long professional career in the transportation industry.  As an over-the-road transportation specialist for various trucking companies, he traveled throughout the United States ensuring that manufactured products, services, and goods were delivered to customers in a timely manner.   Albert took pride in his driving skills and as a result, was recognized for driving thousands of miles accident free during his 40-year career.  Faced with severe health challenges, he parked his rig, shut the engine down, and retired from driving.

Albert was a witty, fun-loving, generous individual who was devoted to his family and friends; enjoyed listening to music; delighted in the soul food prepared by his baby sister; and was truly a joy to be around.  In his    travels, he was known as "Slow"; to his parents he was simply "Junior"; to his siblings, he was "Bruh"; and to his nieces and nephews, he was the "greatest uncle on earth."  Albert will be dearly missed; and the strong bonds that he developed throughout his life will forever be cherished and remembered.

On March 28, 2019, Albert transitioned to eternal rest.  In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by three siblings, Johnnie Mae Toomer,  Jessie Toomer, and Roosevelt Toomer.

He leaves fond memories that will forever be cherished by his siblings, Willie Mae Hunt, Linda Wingfield, Bernice Toomer, Catherine (Anthony) Isaac, Reese (Cora) Toomer, James Toomer, and Clarence Toomer all of Albany, GA; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
