To all Albie's siblings-I just want to tell you how sad I was to hear of Albie's passing.You were all a very important part of my life.I started babysitting for you 3 days a week after school from 4-6 p.m. and most of the day Sat. from 2p.m.. to 11p.m.Dom wasn't born then and Albie was the only boy and he sure had a way of getting out of trouble or getting his way.He had me wrapped around his little finger.He was very sweet when he wanted to be.I remember him stuck up a tree with his leg brace on but he managed to get down.There were also many times I would hear Barbara & Nancy telling me that he tried to jump the brook at the end of the street and had fallen in again.There were many happy memories with all of you.Kathy was the baby then Bettyann.I never got to know Dom because I only babysat for a little over 3 years.I'm sure Albie is now with his beloved mother, Marie and father, Al and resting in peace.They are looking after you all and I know you will all see each other again in heaven some day.He will now be your Guardian Angel.I never knew him as an adult but not only Albie but all of you touched my heart and I will always treasure the many memories I have of you all.I used to see your Mom from time to time and talk to her,she worked with my mother-in-law at the Bargain Center.Please know that I will keep Albie and all of you in my thoughts and prayers.Everytime I go by the house I remember seeing him on the ladder fixing it up. He did a great job on the parts he finished.
Rest in peace Albie until we meet again.Love Diane(Ward)Brooks

Albie
A friend to so many and helping us all in so many ways. Tammi and I drove past the house the other day. I reminded her how Richie and Albie would work on my car. A poor single parent so many years ago. I will always be thankful for our friendship Albie!!

My most memorable conversation with Al was about 12 years ago. He talked about wanting to be more involved with his childrens' daily lives. Being a dad was the most important role in his life. It was the source of his joy! He was a remarkable friend as well. Honest, trustworthy and non-judgemental. I learned so much from Albie. I will miss him always. I will keep his family in my prayers.

"Albie"
I know that words cannot express how much you did to help me. People need to know how many you helped over so many years, in so many ways. You wouldn't talk about it, you just did it.
my thoughts go to your family, thank you dear friend.
