Albert Earle Pentecost, 88, resident of Mennonite Home in Lancaster, PA died Sunday morning, May 2, 2010, at Lancaster General Hospital after many years of struggle with Parkinson’s disease.

Mr. Pentecost worked for the Delaware County Trust Company for ten years from 1938. He completed law school in 1947 earning a combined LLB degree from the Wharton School of the University of PA and University of Chicago.

He served as President of the Land Title Association of Pennsylvania from 1975-1976. In 1979, he was elected to the Board of Directors of TICP. In 1990, he became the first recipient of the corporation’s “Albert E. Pentecost” Award. After his retirement, he and his wife moved to Lancaster, PA.
Mr. Pentecost suffered numerous afflictions during his lifetime. His particular ministry, however, was his faithful and persevering care of his beloved wife who endured severe physical conditions until her death in 2001.
Mr. Pentecost was a member of Great Valley Presbyterian Church in Devon, PA and later Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, PA. He was a man of persevering faith and reverent trust in God.
