| <tab>An intelligent, quiet, somewhat self-effacing man, Laurin was a born administrator rather than a stereotypical politician by either birth or training. It is perhaps a rash guess after all these years, but it is hard not to suspect that he was a man whose feelings were easily hurt. Students of the absolute //minutiae// of GC culture will note that obituaries from his //Alexandria Times// were occasionally reprinted in other newspapers; therefore a few bits from the lost files have been saved. Job printing done by J. A. Laurin included the 1500 copies of the //Minutes of Proceedings// for the SDG Council for 1943, a stapled soft-cover volume of about 150 pages which includes the printed text of his own letter summarizing and accepting the terms of the printing contract. | <tab>An intelligent, quiet, somewhat self-effacing man, Laurin was a born administrator rather than a stereotypical politician by either birth or training.

| <tab>J. Albert Laurin was married on 22 June 1916 to Delphine Courville, who was born in Maxville in 1894, the daughter of David Courville. (two children surviving him) She died in Glengarry Memorial Hospital, 20 July 1974, aged 80. Alice Laurin during interviews in 1976 and 1977 spoke of the Laurins as a family of printers, as a family with printing in their blood, and said that they had been involved in 42 different printing enterprises. For the printing connection, see also W. E. Crateau. | <tab>J. Albert Laurin was married on 22 June 1916 to Delphine Courville, who was born in Maxville in 1894, the daughter of David Courville.
