Henry was one of the most happy and upbeat persons I have ever come across. I helped Henry both in a clinic setting and at home over the past year or so with his physical therapy and found him never to be at a lost for words to tell me about his family, his life experiences or on occasion to sing and dance! I have never met a man like him and am grateful for the opportunity to have known him. He will always be remembered and undoubtedly extremely MISSED!

With deepest sympathy to the family. Your Dad was such a nice man-he sang with my husband,, for many years, in the Schubert Chor.
He will be missed.

Over the years, Henry and his late wife Elizabeth helped out many animals through both the East Providence Volunteer Services for Animals and Defenders of Animals, Inc. I'm sure that Henry's friends and relatives, along with his companion animal Kirby, will miss him tremendously.

Let us pray. Supreme Grand Master, author of all good and giver of all mercy. Pour down Thy blessings upon the family of our very active and very well liked Masonic Brother, Henry M. Albers, who recently joined you in the Celestial Lodge above. He will be missed very much by all in the Craft.

Strengthen our solemn engagements with the ties of sincere affection!

May the present instance of mortality remind us of our approaching fate, and draw our attention toward Thee, the only refuge in time of need that, when the awful moment shall arrive that we are about to quit this transitory scene, the enlivening prospect of Thy mercy may dispel the gloom of death.

After our departure hence in peace, and in Thy favor, may we be received into Thine everlasting kingdom, to enjoy, in union with the souls of our departed Masonic brethren, the just reward of a pious and virtuous life.

So mote it be.
