Albert Pfeiffer died peacefully at his home on August 9,2020. He was born on September 3, 1922 and
raised in Kalvaria Lithuania.

Prior to his service in the Navy as a radio operator, he attended the Lehrerseminariurn in Lithuania
studying to become a teacher. In 1954 he and his family immigrated to the United States from
Germany. He was a resident of Hartford for the past 65 years.

Albert began his career at Veeder Root in Hartford while attending night school. He retired in 1987
from Haydon Switch and Instrument (now Haydon, Kirk, Pitman) as manager of the Manufacturing
Engineering/Value Analysis organization.

During his retirement he was active in the amateur radio community. His call sign was WA 1 JZS.

In 1991 he and a group of amateur radio operators in contact with Lithuania were instrumental in
restoring the country's independence. He and his fellow amateur radio operators relayed news of all
events occurring in Lithuania to the Department of State and media in real time. It meant a lot to

Albert to have been part of this historical event.

Albert also enjoyed history, politics, music, designing and maintaining beautiful flower gardens and of
course a good soccer game or tennis match.

He was fluent in five languages and had great people skills. Family was everything to Albert, but he
was never too busy to help a friend or a neighbor. His life was rich in people, places and experiences.
He will remain forever in our hearts.

Albert is predeceased by Elly his wife of 65 years. He is survived by a son Harald Pfeiffer of
Wethersfield, a daughter Monika and son-in-law Robert Donais of Windsor, a brother-in-law Hans Otto
and his wife Olga of Thompson, CT and several nieces and nephews in the United States, Canada and
Germany.

The family wishes to thank his aide Dora and his very special companions and friends Maria and
Elizabeth for their help in caring for Albert.
