Albert Slendebroek

Albert Slendebroek, an incredible husband, father and ultimate humanitarian, was a man with a contagious, positive spirit. He was hard working and innovative. As a non-judgemental activist, he always stood up for what he believed in. He served in Vietnam as a conscientious objector volunteer and medic.

Albert founded the Lumber Baron in 1977. He chose to specialize in redwood and built a successful business from scratch. His close relationships with redwood suppliers allowed him to offer the best quality and selection in the bay area.  His willingness to go above and beyond for his clients, gained his business a strong, dedicated, word of mouth customer base.

On July 14th, 2010, Albert unexpectedly passed away. A man who always looked to lend a helping hand, who would lit up a room, left a legacy in his business, and self sufficient home, built from the ground up. He leaves behind a strong family that loved and adored him, hundreds of friends, and his trademark bandanna.  He will be missed by all that knew him.

I love you Pops.
