"Albert W. Withrow, Sr., of Sunnymead, Calif., died November 24, 1983, in Rierside, Calif., at the age of 66. He was born May 27, 1917, in San Jose, Calif., the son of Mrs. Sadie Withrow.
Al first heard of Seventh Day Baptists from Rev. Leon Maltby in 1943. He and Marge then moved to Readley, Calif., and joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church of B. B. Friesen. Finally he and Marge decided to move to a larger Seventh Day Baptist Church. Over Christmas in 1948, they moved to Riverside. While in Riverside, he was an active member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church, for a time serving as deacon of the church.
He was employed by the University of California, Riverside, as head carpenter for a number of years, and by Anacapa Grinding and Mitchell Glass as a lead foreman. In Riverside, there are several churches in which he has done major alteration: three Seventh Day Adventist and our Seventh Day Baptist Church. Those of us who knew Al personally have examples of his truly artistic ability handling wood and other materials in our homes. On a daily basis, we are reminded of his real artistic sense by such tings as a glass enclosed fireplace, wood cabinets, tile floors, additions done without so much as a crack seen where the addition and change was made. The man was a genius with his hands and with his ability to create with those hands something that was usable and beautiful for other people.
He was extremely interested in the historical Christ and his mission in this world. He was in that stage of his life when he thoroughly enjoyed taking trips to the Holy Land, seeing where Christ had been and to dig where Christ had walked. His last trip, immediately before he died, was an archaelogical expedition where he had the pleasure of digging up several artifacts that were kept fore their historic value.
Those of us in the Riverside Church, who knew him and loved him, will miss his presence. Great works follow a great man and pleasant memories return as we constantly view the works of this talented tradesman.
He is survived by his wife, Marjorie Withrow; one son, Albert Jr., of Berrien Springs, Mich.; one daughter, Nancy Smith, of Sunnymead; two brothers, two sisters, and three grandchildren.
Private memorial services were held in the Riverside Seventh Day Baptist Church on November 30,l 12983. LHVM"
