Obituary
Albert Edward Dery II, 74, of Kanawha City, passed away suddenly on September 10, 2022.
He was proceeded in death by his parents, Albert and Louise Dery; sisters, Carolyn “Susie” Dery, Patricia Farry, and Mary Margaret Hinson.
Albert is survived by his wife of 52 years, Kathleen “Kathi” Whelan Dery; sons, Albert “Ted” and Jon “Gabe”; daughter, Joyce & fiancé Kelly Gupton; granddaughter and best little buddy, Isabella “Izzy”; grandson, Christopher Means; sisters, Barbara “Bobbie” Baldy and Elizabeth Looney and husband Timothy; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, family, and friends.
Albert was a lifelong member of Saint Agnes Catholic Church and a dedicated volunteer at their Common Grounds Outreach Center. He worked as a journeyman electrician for 42 years for IBEW Local 466.
Albert was the ultimate family man and his favorite pastime was that spent with family and friends. He enjoyed taking his “Al’s gals” anywhere they wanted to go and loved the adventures he shared with them. He wanted to fix things and make life right for everyone he knew and was always a phone call away for anyone who needed him. In true Albert form, he helped others even after his passing by donating his organs to CORE.
The family is planning a private service for a later date.

Barlow Bonsall Funeral Home, Charleston has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Aunt Kathi I am so sorry for your loss. Do you remember the time that you and Uncle Albert took Linda and I to the amusement Park the summer that we spent with grandma and grandpa. That was so much fun. Uncle Albert was always in great spirits no matter what I never know him to get upset or even mad. Love ya

My heart is broken and know I am praying for God to surround all of you in His comforting arms. I know there is a celebration in heaven as Albert has beeen welcomed into his forever home. I cherish all the memories of how he would open the door on early Saturday mornings with a grin for a little Girl in her nightgown and rain boots hoping for some big foot pancakes and some cartoons with her best friend. Or the multiple times he served as my personal fire department when I would bravely climb the front yard tree with Ted and be unable to get back down. He would be my night in shining armor and go get the ladder off his van to climb up and rescue me. No matter how many times this actually occurred he always had a big grin on his face as he carried me back down to safety. I love how he loved not just his family and friends but in the community. He will be greatly missed by all those whose lives he touched until we meet again in heaven.
