Granger Ford - Passing of Albert Schmitz

[Zach@Granger]

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the passing of Albert Schmitz (Granger Ford). Albert was instrumental in getting us involved with this forum, a 25+ year employee, father, husband and friend.

Albert professed to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. While broncos are great, I believe Albert would rather see you in heaven someday than deliver your Bronco to you here on earth.

He leaves big shoes to fill and Sean and Amanda on our staff will do their best to fulfill our obligations to the Bronco community.

His impact cannot be understated for our store. My first interactions with Albert were as a 14 year old working in our detail shop and ended with me as the dealer principal and him as my employee. The 20 years in-between have been great, both learning a lot from each other.

We appreciate your thoughts and prayers for his family and co-workers.

Visitation and arrangement information can be found here.

Zack I hate to hear this. Even though I’m not a customer, I know Albert had such an impact, not only in real life, but here on B6G. Prayers for Albert’s family as well as the Granger family.

Godspeed RIP Albert. I only had a brief interaction with him as an October res, but he seemed to treat customers right.

Prayers for Albert’s family and everyone at Granger Ford! Albert has a cult following on this forum and was a rock star and such an asset to us with straight forward info and enthusiasm. More importantly it’s great to hear he’s at home with our father!

Rest In Peace, Albert. Albert’s family, and his Granger family, are in my prayers. I really enjoyed working with him on my order, and am so sorry to hear this.

Albert was such a pleasure to talk with. So passionate about the Bronco, so well informed, and gave great advice. I can only imagine how much more so for those who knew him personally. The world is a worse place today than yesterday.
