Back when I was in my youth, I was suspended from two universities due to very poor efforts. For the next two years I lacked ambition was aimless and couldn’t keep any job. Albert was there for me and kept me from getting into real trouble. If not for him I do not where I would have gone. Thanks Albert and I will never ever forget you.

You were the best daddy I could’ve ever asked for. Strongest and most selfless man I’ve ever known. I will love you forever and try to make you proud. Your baby girl, Amy

I remember Albert because of his influence and time spent with the young boys from Jones Road area when my oldest son was a teenager. He gave them work during the summer and valuable guidance to prepare them for life. I send my deepest sympathy to all the family.
