I only knew him for a short time, but he made it feel like a life time, because he was such a great man. Ronald-I am the lady that met you at your mothers grave a couple of weeks age.I will forever miss him in church and sitting at the grave of his wife, where my mother and I first met him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Albert was my neighbor for 17 years and was one of the first to welcome me to the neighborhood. He was always there with a helping hand and a kind word. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and regret that I was out of town and unable to express my condolences in person. Please know that you will be in my prayers and that I will always remember Albert with fondness.

To the family of PaPa, We pray that you will always keep the great memories of such a wonderful man close to your heart. He also became special to our family and it was a privilege to have met him and also share memories that we have. To Ben, Stephanie, Allison and Carson, because of your family, it gave us that opportunity to get to know PaPa in a special way. Our sympathy and prayers. We love you.
