ALBERT BERNARD 
RIMAR, 100, of Vero 
Beach, Fla., died Aug. 
16, 2024.
He was born May 
24, 1924, in Detroit 
to Sylvia and Ralph 
Rimar. Though he lived 
through the Depression and fought 
in Europe during WWII, landing 
on Normandy on the fifth day after 
the invasion, he never let these 
events shape his life in a negative 
way. 
He became a dedicated husband 
for 70 years to his wife, Gloria, 
whom he met on a blind date. He 
was a loving father to his three 
children and always found time to 
play baseball, vacation, camp, sail 
and advise. His humor and quotes 
were renowned, as reflecting his 
military influence. 
He was a full-time member of the 

Air National Guard as a hydraulic 
specialist until he retired at age 55. 
He loved airplanes and obtained 
his general pilot’s license when he 
was 68. 
In retirement, he and Gloria 
traveled and were always involved 
with their grandchildren, with 
summers on Lake Huron and 
winters in Florida. 
He was a man who lived through 
many historical events and in 
his passing, he takes with him 
knowledge and wisdom the family 
will no longer be able to query. He 
will be missed greatly.
He is survived by his sister, Diane 
Rimar; son and daughter-in-law, 
Steven and Janet Rimar, daughter, 
Nancy Rimar-Howard; loving 
grandchildren, Ryan (Carol), Leah 
and Zachary Howard; Kalen Rimar 
(Sarah), Lauren Latin (Itamar), 
and Alex Rimar; adoring great-
