Albert B. Ohmann

Albert Benjamin Ohmann, 90, of Aurora, Colorado, passed away March 1st. Born in Albany, Minnesota on September 20, 1922, to John and Elizabeth (Feneis) Ohmann, he grew up in rural Minnesota and spent a lot of time on his uncle's farm. In June 1942, he joined the Navy and served aboard the destroyer U.S.S. Wilson where he earned the bronze star. After the war ended, he joined the Army and served for 27 years, retiring in 1971. He married Margaret Kraemer, on March 29th, 1955, and had several duty postings that took him around the world, and the family around the United States and to Germany, finally settling in Aurora in 1966. He was happiest when in his garden or when fixing something around the house. He took long walks around the outside of Fitzsimons golf course and picked up lost golf balls which kept him healthy. He enjoyed singing and doing crossword puzzles to keep his mind sharp.
