Albert Frank Henning, born December 11, 1928, died peacefully on July 4, 2026, at the age of 97.
He was a devoted family man who spent most of his life in and around Barrington, Illinois.
He is survived by his three sons: Albert K.
(BCHS Class of 1973), Arland B.
(BCHS Class of 1974), Eric A.
Henning (BCHS Class of 1977), his daughters-in-law Carol (Albert K.) and Nadine (Eric), four grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
Albert’s story is one of hard work and deep community roots.
His father immigrated from Germany between the world wars and started with little except his skill as a butcher.
He settled in the Barrington area because it was an affordable place to live while he commuted to a grocery store by the train station in Mount Prospect.
Growing up, Albert was a standout athlete.
He played both basketball and football for his high school, graduating in 1947 in a class of fewer than 70 students.
He was a good enough student to be allowed to help harvest apples at Bell’s orchard during specified school days during WWII.
Following his graduation, he and his best friend, Jack Noyes, traveled out to Colorado working the harvest – slowly making their way west by repairing harvesters and helping farmers bring in their crops.
Albert later had to work to financially figure out his next steps after high school while Jack attended Purdue University veterinary school.
Albert’s athletic skills in football ultimately earned him a scholarship at Culver-Stockton College in Missouri.
He graduated with a degree in business administration.
Albert’s life changed forever on New Year’s Eve in the 1950s when his friend Jack, and Jack’s sister Nancy, introduced him to a fellow Purdue student Janet Borgeson on a blind date.
They quickly fell in love.
Albert was drafted into the Army in 1952, and he and Janet married just before his honorable discharge in 1954.
They eventually settled on the east side of Barrington to raise their family.
Albert’s career began as a commodities trader for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
After serving as an accounting clerk for several firms downtown, he joined Collins, Miller and Hutchings as their long-time controller, until the firm’s acquisition by Beatrice Foods.
He spent the remainder of his career as CFO for several small firms, as a licensed financial advisor, and as a licensed tax professional and advisor (he remained active well into his eighties).
Albert will be remembered for his steadfast dedication to his family, his athletic spirit, his passion for stocks that pay dividends, his lifelong connection to the town he loved, driving his mobility cart just-a-little too fast, and the words he and his bride shared whenever it was time to move on: “to be continued . . .”
