Albert was born to John and Magdalina (Schlosser) Feist on the Feist family farm. He grew up on the family farm northeast of Strasburg and attended Strasburg Public School through the 10th grade. On January 15, 1966 he married Angeline Houn, and together they had 10 children. Albert worked hard over the years as a diversified dairy and grain farmer and worked in several other custom farming endeavors. Together, they enlisted the help of their children to run a successful farm. Albert enjoyed traveling; the couple ventured to Europe twice to visit family. He enjoyed visiting with his children after they left the farm; many of them recall his weekly "weather checks" and visiting for just a couple minutes to check in on things. Even if he couldn't be in the same town as his kids, he always found time to check in on jobs, grandkids, and any new employment opportunities. You could often find Albert downtown playing cards and drinking root beer with his friends. He was a social man who enjoyed a good conversation as much as anyone. Albert is survived by his wife, Angie, his children: Gordon,(Laura) Strasburg, Charmaine (Hugh) Soule, Hamilton, ND, Loren (Teresa), Aberdeen, SD, Gerald, (Special Friend, Jennifer Pocta), Strasburg, Marvin (Tina), Strasburg, Steven, Fargo, ND, Dwayne (Shannon), Menoken, ND, Sheldon (Jenesa) Washburn, ND, Keriann (Eric) Sauter, Linton, ND, Aric (Janelle), Lincoln, ND, 17 grandchildren and 2 step-grandchildren, and siblings Edward (Margaret), Florence Meier, Geneva Vetter, all of Bismarck, ND, and Clarence, Anoka, MN.
