I was a high school classmate of Albert's. Our fathers were friends in Jefferson. The Ayling farm just below the Merril's. That is where my father spent his summers. To Albert's family, I am so sorry for your loss. He was a fine, fine man.

Father, you dedicated your life to country, family, and friends. Many people you helped with love are in morning. You were a silent superhero, that has gone before his time. Your legacy will live on forever. I miss you very much and will see you again one day.
