Albert F. Stanton

Albert F. Stanton, age 93, passed away on Friday, August 27, 2021, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Toledo. He was born January 26, 1928, in Toledo to the late Clinton and Glada (Lindsey) Stanton. Al worked as a plant engineer for Haughton Elevator for 41 years until his retirement and then worked at the Toledo Zoo for 5 years in facilities management. He was a member of Grace Church in Perrysburg for many years where he was an usher, taught Sunday School and served on the board of trustees. Al was creative and loved to work with his hands.
