We were reminiscing about when we were wanting a wedding set and my fiancée´s grandfather took us to Albert Klein´s jewelers. Mr Klein helped us with our selection and as a young airman, helped us establish credit. Every anniversary of our engagement we think about our encounter with Mr Klein. Sorry to find his passing.

Still remember Albert with great affection and appreciation.

Albert K remains in my heart as a kind, gentle man, a treasured friend, and a genuine public servant.
