Albert C. Dierckes Jr. *65

Albert died Nov. 11, 2021, in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

He was born June 15, 1938, in Covington, Ky. Albert earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from MIT in 1960. As a National Science Foundation fellow, he obtained a Ph.D. in the same field at Princeton.

Albert’s original intent was to become a professor and teach, but other matters swayed his decision. Instead, he spent his professional life at Procter & Gamble, retiring as a director in research and development after 37 years of service. Most of his career was in paper products and baby care, working on such brands as Charmin, Bounty, and Pampers. Early in his career he was in the soap and detergent division and had an assignment in Kansas City.

In his youth Albert learned to play the bassoon, which led to a lifelong love of classical music. Travel was a major activity for Albert. He visited 83 countries and visited all continents but one, and visited all U.S. states but one. 

Predeceased by his first wife, Anne, Albert is survived by his wife, Nancy; five children, Albert C. III, Kathryn, Stephen, Anne, and Mark; 11 grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; and one step-greatgrandchild.
