So sorry to hear this news. I took delivery of my truck from Granger at end of May - it was clear Albert was sick but I thought / hoped he'd have a lot more time than this! Purchase experience from Granger, led by Albert was by far the best I've encountered and based on this small window I can only imagine how much Albert enriched the lives of his family, friends and colleagues. RIP Albert.

Wow! So so sorry to hear this. Thank you for updating us here on the forum. Albert was a harbinger of help and good news for many of the guys here, including myself.

Praying for his family and your guys at Granger Ford!

We wanted to notify this forum that our valued comrade, Albert Schmitz of Granger Ford, passed away yesterday due to lung disease. Albert was a great ambassador for Ford for many years.

Going forward, please send any pricing questions or build requests to Chip Giles at Granger Ford. He has been active in the build/order/delivery process for our dealership for several months now, working alongside Albert. Chip can be reached at 515-999-8211 or the easiest way to get a quote quickly is to send the summary page from the build and price section of www.ford.com to [email protected]. You can normally expect a quote the same day.

We value our relationships with all those we've met through the 14G forum and are proud to have helped make so many dreams come true on Ford truck orders. We look forward to continuing to provide the best prices and top notch service to you.
Sad to hear.

He was a great guy and a good person speak with.

I'm so sorry to hear this. He helped me get started on ordering my Tremor and answered a bunch of questions for me. I'm certain that he will be missed by many.

I was just going thru my emails and figured it's worth posting. This was the last message I received from Albert (while he was in the hospital) on Jun 18, 21. I had informed him that my truck was delivered to Granger...against all odds. Albert guided me while configuring my truck back in April,21 and the sole reason I contacted Granger.
RIP Albert.

"Thank you for the kind words again and I feel privileged to have gotten to "meet" you and your wife and will definitely count you as some of my friends...

I will one day make it back to the state of Florida, just trying to get the logistics of health, retirement and travel availability so that I can travel the US again without fear of flare ups...

If/when I am in the area I will reach out just to meet for a coffee if you would not mind...

Albert"

Albert, Albert. What a tremendous loss and I'm without words. He came to this Forum when it was only a 100 or so members, and offered to simply give advice and answer questions. Within a few weeks, he got his GM to agree to offer something no other dealer was advertising - some of the best pricing on the new F150's in the country.

Honest. No BS. Funny. The kind of guy you'd drive or fly 1500 miles to get a truck from.
Miss you already, my Iowa friend.
