My heart goes out to Dr. Albertson's family. My heart was broken when I recently called the office and learned Dr. Albertson had passed away.

I had been a patient of Dr. Albertson's for over 30 years. He was an absolute warm, caring, professional. He truly had a genuine concern regarding my dental needs. He also was very funny and handsome...Each year when I would go in for my appointments I would tell him that I continued to age but yet he continue to look the same....GOD obviously needed not only a good dentist but a good man.

My prayers are with you.

To the loved ones of Dr. Albertson I send my sincerest condolences. Dr. Albertson was my dentist for over 20 years. I was shocked to hear of his passing when I called this morning to schedule an appointment with him.

I really trusted him. He was kind, patient, and always took the time to answer all my questions. I have no idea how I'm going to find someone to take as good care of my teeth as he did.

In this time of grief, may you all receive the support you need, and may you all be of comfort to one another. And may the pain of loss be tempered by your fond memories. My sympathies to you all.

I was in a total disbelief to find out that Dr. Albertson passed. I am saddened by the news and may God bless his soul. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I have been Dr. Albertson's patient for sometime. I was happy to finally found him since he is the only dentist I know who is very gentle, thoughtful, caring and above all very honest. I made sure I got to my appointments with good gums since he works hard on my teeth…I did not want to disappoint him…if I did not take care of my tooth.

I will miss my visits to his office. May he rest in peace.

I will always remember Dr. Albertson for his gentle demeanor and honest approach. I never minded his little 'lectures' he gave me after my appointment because you knew he really cared about you. He was the first dentist to get me to floss regularly because I wanted to return to his office with a healthy set of gums. For that, I'm very thankful and will never forget him.

it was a beautiful nice simple ceremony... excellent job by the army and air force honor guard especially the bugler playing taps...the senior air force sergeant was outstanding...

I am so saddened to hear of Bob's sudden death. Bob, and classmates of Ravenswood High School Class of 1961, shared a wonderful evening full of high school remembrances at our recent 50th reunion. I am so happy to have been able to renew and share those fond memories with him. My deepest sympathy to his mother and your family.

Joan,
I'm so sorry to hear about Robert's passing. I am Robert's first cousin - our fathers were brothers. I have not had contact with my cousins since back in the late 1970's as I was unable to find any information about them although I searched many times.
I will not be able to attend the service but I wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
I would love to hear from anyone in the family.
Very Sincerely,
Ted Albertson

Joan,
I'm so sorry to hear of my cousin Bob's passing. I am Bob's first cousin, his father Hahns and my father Alfred were brothers. I have wondered through the years of my family's whereabouts and have made attempts to find information about my Aunt Margaret, Bob and his sister Nancy. The last contact I had with my family was back in the late 1970's.

I will not be able to attend the services but wanted to send my condolences to you and your family.

Sincerely,
Ted Albertson
