We have always been so impressed with Albert's good

Our most sincere sympathy to all of you.
I cannot help but feel the sadness for you. Your family has never known life without 'Papa'.
That being said...I cannot help but feel the joy that Albert is now experiencing.
We are so honoured to have known Albert...and have enjoyed his calm and passive outlook on life. A brilliant mind...and his determination to always continue and move forward...no matter how painful it was...has given us great inspiration. We will definitely take a page from his book.
You are so blessed to have enjoyed life...for so long...with such an amazing man.
He will truly be missed...but his memory will forever live in our hearts.
