Michael Albright Obituary

SUGAR LAND, TX Michael J. Albright, 65, passed away on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013, after a valiant struggle with cancer. He was born to the late Bernard J. Storm and Thelma I. Albright, on January 4, 1948, in Hanover. Mike graduated from Albright College in 1969. He received his Master's Degree from Xavier University and a Ph.D. from Wayne State University, both in Inorganic Chemistry. He married Irene C. Copes on January 18, 1969. Mike worked primarily as an Applications Chemist, both for research purposes and for medical imaging applications. He devoted his life to his family and his work. At home Mike was Mr. Fix-It and the go-to guy for innumerable science and creative projects. He enjoyed long walks with the family's Labrador retriever, gardening, traveling with his family, reading sci-fi books, and making friends wherever he went. He is survived by his wife, Irene C. Albright; and two daughters, Laura M. Albright and Christa L. Faucett. A Private Memorial Service was held Saturday, April 6, 2013, in Sugar Land. His final resting place will be at Memorial Oaks Cemetery, in Houston, Texas.

Irene, Laura and Christa: I still remember fondly the close proximity where we lived in North Plainfield, NJ and having fun in our yards. Then the visit to Orange County, CA. Mike kept us former Siemenslers together with his emails and annual wishes. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you with my deepest condolences for this loss.

Mike was a smart, kind and generous person who did everything with a smile. He helped me to land a wonderful job back in the late 80s that introduced me to outstanding colleagues and international travel. My heart goes out to his family and all who are grieving his loss.
