I interned at WUSA9 this past fall, and Albert was one of the first producers to take me under his wing and show me the ins and outs of video editing. He was so gracious, hardworking, and kind. He told me joyful stories about his family's favorite cupcake bakeries in Georgetown. My heart goes out to your family.
