On November 15, 1952 in Calbayog City, Philippines, parents Alejandro and Emelila (Dimakiling) Dabu celebrated the birth of their son Alberto. He was the seventh of their eleven children. Growing up in a tightknit family, Alberto developed a deep appreciation for family which he carried throughout life.

When Alberto’s sister moved to Minnesota, the rest of the family followed close behind! Alberto eventually settled in Bloomington where he met a young woman, Kerry. They were united in marriage and blessed with two sons.

A dedicated and loving father, Alberto supported his sons in all their activities especially baseball. In later years, he showed his grandchildren the same love and encouragement.

While Alberto was a reserved individual, he had a carefree and warm personality. During his twenty plus years with Emerson Processing, Alberto was fortunate to cultivate many lasting friendships with his coworkers. He enjoyed golfing, cheering on the Vikings, visiting Canterbury Park, and most importantly spending time with family and friends.

Alberto is survived by his children, Mike (Angela) Dabu and their son, Joseph, Tyler (Kelsey) Dabu and their children, Celina, Joselynn, Kaiden, and Maliya; former wife, Kerry (Mel) Rogers; siblings, Aurora Stack, Manny Dabu, Eddie Dabu, Cecilo Dabu, Elena Dabu, Regina Tagaza, Louis Dabu, Ricardo Dabu, Justito Dabu, Alfonsito Dabu; many loving nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Alberto is preceded in death by numerous relatives who have gone before him.
