Eugene Albert Obituary
Eugene Albert, loving husband and father, long-time resident of Croton-on-Hudson, generous contributor to his community, successful businessman and lawyer, died on June 25 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. To his family, friends, and business associates alike Gene was known for his intellect, prodigious memory, unsurpassed energy, sharp wit, and generosity of spirit. He had a longtime love of music, dancing, good food, sitting by the ocean, and classic cars. Gene was born on June 28, 1924 in the Bronx. He attended the Mohegan Modern School (formerly) on Mohegan Lake, and graduated from Croton Harmon High School in 1942. During WWII Gene built Liberty Ships in Baltimore and served as a navigator in the Army Air Corps. Later in life he returned to the air and learned to fly. After the war Gene went to Columbia University on the G.I. Bill and received a BS degree in Sociology. He spent his early career in insurance and real estate sales and later started his own appraisal business, the Albert Appraisal Company. Throughout a career spanning more than fifty years Gene set the standard for excellence in real estate appraising across New York State and beyond. At the age of 63 he received a law degree from Pace University and thence began his second successful career. Gene has been active in community and professional organizations for many years. Whether as head of the Democratic Party of Croton, president of the Institute for Professionals in Taxation, or president of the School Board at Children's Village in Dobbs Ferry, as well as many other examples, he was always generous with his time, energy, and wealth of ideas. Gene is survived by his wife Ingrid, his three children Anthony, Joe, and Jeannie, his brother Richard, his first wife Vera, and three grandchildren. We love and miss you. A private memorial service is being arranged by the family. Please consider making a contribution in the name of Eugene Albert to the American Parkinson Disease Association, apdaparkinson.org.

Besides my parents and wife, Gene has had the most impact on my life. He was more than a boss, mentor and a business partner - he was a friend. He had the confidence to allow me to mature professionally. He never gave me wrong even when I was. I did not deserve the kindness and generosity that he showered on me over the years. I owe much in my life to him. His brilliance can never be replaced.

Gene was a father-in-law, a mentor and a friend to me. He was also a father to my wife Vivian, and a grandfather to my children Brendan, David and Garrett, whom they all referred to him as "Grandpa Gene". I admired Gene a great deal, not only for his incredible intelligence and business success and acumen, but also for his unwavering respectfulness, modesty and decency. The world lost a great man...but his memory will live with us forever.

I am the retired Director of Real Estate for Con Edison. I worked with Gene on a client/consultant basis for over 30 years. He was a remarkably intelligent man with an impecable work ethic. He was quite witty and personable. The industry lost a good person in Gene. Rest in peace my long time friend. I hereby extend my heartfelt condolences to Gene's family. Robert J. Mele
