Albert L. Tretinik

Albert L. Tretinik, 87, of Clarksville, passed away Tuesday, May 29, 2018, in his home, and rejoined his beloved wife, Lillian, in heaven.

He was born August 25, 1930, in LaBelle, a son of the late John and Ann Sholtes Tretinik.

Surviving are his three children, Albert W. “Bil” Tretinik, Alan (Susan) Tretinik and Florence Lynn (David) Taylor, all of Clarksville; three grandchildren, Jason Alan (Sarah) Taylor and Cory and Cole Tretinik; three great-grandchildren, Eli and Owen (Jason and Sarah) and Zoey Taylor (Brian); siblings Irma (Frank) Cioti of California state, Joseph Tretinik of Clarksville and Robert (Stephanie) Tretinik of Brownsville; and sister-in-law Dorothy Burwell of Clarksville.

Deceased, in addition to his parents, are his wife of more than 63 years, Lillian Wright Tretinik; grandson Brian David Taylor; and siblings John Tretinik, Kathleen “Toots” Kingan and William “Sonny” Tretinik.

Mr. Tretinik was a proud U.S. Army veteran and member of American Legion Brooks-Crago Post 816.

He was a member of Pitt Gas Missionary Church.

He worked for many years as a truck driver, both self-employed and for more than 30 years with Teamsters Local 585.

He was an avid gardener who won many awards for his vegetable and flower gardens. His hope was his family would continue his gardening tradition, which he saw as becoming a lost art. He was a very friendly man who never met a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone.

More than anything, though, he was a devoted husband, cherished father and doting grandfather and great-grandfather who loved attending all events the children participated in, even if he couldn’t completely follow the sport.

A public memorial service will be announced at a later date. He and his wife, Lillian, will be laid to rest together in Greene County Memorial Park, Morgan Township.

Frank Burkus Funeral Home of Millsboro is assisting the family with arrangements.
