MSG (Ret.) Albert Peter Poulson, Jr., 85, of Columbus, GA passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at his home.

Albert was born on January 12, 1934 in Toledo, OH to the late Albert and Irene Poulson, Sr. He proudly served his country in the United States Army for 22 years. It was during this time that he was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart while being deployed in the Korean Conflict and two tours in Vietnam. Albert enjoyed woodworking, playing golf, and fishing in addition to being a Mason and Shriner. He was an avid dog lover but his heart, above all, belonged to his family. This special grandfather and great-grandfather will be greatly missed.
Other than his parents, Albert is preceded in death by his wife of over 40 years, Frances Poulson; daughter, Jada Martin; sisters, Lucille Grohowski and Leatrice Yeack; brothers, Carl Poulson, Lester Poulson, and Melvin Poulson.
Survivors include his granddaughter, Toni Frady (fiance’, Dave) and great-grandchildren, Jonathan and Madison Frady, all of Columbus, GA; brothers, Bobby Poulson, Tom Poulson, and Leonard Poulson.
Flowers will be received at Vance Brooks Funeral Home in Columbus.

Toni and family, so sorry to hear of my Uncle Jr’s passing. He was already in the service when I was born so I only got to know him on his visits to Toledo. We always had a good time together. One of the best memories is his last visit here 2 years ago to surprise his sister from CA. It was so great to see all the siblings together! Lucille sadly passed a year ago but I know it was what she wished for most.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all his family there!

My Grandmother Lucille Grohowski loved her siblings. Any chance she had to talk or visit with them always filled her heart. I’m so happy that my sister Jill was able to take our grandma to visit one last time with her brothers. She loved that special trip and we enjoyed her stories. My prayers and condolences to your family.
