    Albert was a very awesome cousin, he was one of a kind. Always enjoyed our visits with him and Betty, we have lots of fond memories of him. He was a special nephew to Emmie, she treasured the times with him. Hold on to all the memories, he will be missed by many.

      We are so thankful that you were able to attend the funeral! Dad loved you all so much! I’m sure he has a lot of catching up to do with Emmie and John!

      The Main Office Station and the Markup Section wouldn’t have been the same without Al. RIP.
