Albert Urban

Albert E. Urban, age 80, of Barrington, NJ passed away peacefully on Friday March 7, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. 

LEGACY: 

Known to family and friends as Pop or Al, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He was a self-proclaimed perfectionist who was always busy doing something. He took pride in his yard whether that was mowing the lawn, weed whacking or edging his lawn, it always looked perfect on any given day. He was a proud veteran of the US Army, who loved his country. 

Al was a self-made Marine Electrician who worked at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard for over 30 years until they closed their doors, and he decided to retire. He worked various jobs later on just to keep himself busy. He would often do electrical jobs for friends and family. He would tell you his biggest and best accomplishments were his children and grandchildren. He would beam with pride just talking about them. 

He will be best remembered for his safety-first motto “ABC-Always Be Careful” and would say it to everyone, even the neighborhood kids. 

He enjoyed time spent at home with his family the most, he adored his daughters, and his smile could light up a room whenever he was with his grandchildren. 

FAMILY: 

Albert was the beloved husband of 56 years to the late Barbara Urban. Devoted father of Alexandria Urban-Cusumano (Phillip) and Barbara Urban. Cherished grandfather of Matthew Albert, Timothy Albert, Jamie Barbara, Ryan Morrison and grand-dog Khloe. Precious son of Justin and Anna Urban.
