Albert was a proud US Air Force veteran. He was a fireman for the Air Force. Upon his honorable discharge, Albert worked as a machinist.
Albert had a heart of gold and a contagious smile. He had a beautiful smile that everyone loved. He had innate goodness, a large capacity for loving, loyalty, and generosity. He loved with all that he had. Most of all, Albert loved his boys, he always lit up whenever he was with them. When Bruce would visit Albert, Albert would always ask “Are you going to see me,” which Bruce would always reply “Of Course.” Albert’s five wonderful boys, who in so many ways, reflect all the fine characteristics that they inherited from him, and from Albert’s father and mother His son, John, would always bring Albert a BLT from his restaurant. Albert gave unconditional love to all of his children; even the ones who were not biologically his. Albert taught his children that love is not a blood thing, it is in your soul and it is God’s will and God’s word.
Albert loved Mustangs, motorcycles and driving fast. He rebuilt several motorcycles, some of those were built inside the house because it was too cold to work outside. Albert shared his love of Mustang’s with his children; he had gifted his only daughter, Evelyn, his 1990 Mustang, which he taught her how to drive standard. He also shared the unique love for his 64 ½ Mustang, which was a special toy of his. He also loved oldies music, which he often played from his Jukebox.
