ALBERT WILL BE MISSED DEARLY. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND REMENBER THAT HE LOVE ALL OF YOU BUT GOD LOVED HIM MORE.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Al was a "Gentleman," in the truest sense of the word. Thanks to his family for sharing him with his KNEA friends for so many years. We are so very grateful that he was able to be recognized by the NEA and that his grandson was able to share the accolades with him. Thanks for the memories.

To: Albert's family and friends. Albert worked with all of our staff and families at Sheldon Child Development Center - Head Start. He faithfully attended Policy Council meetings month after month. He was a strong voice for education and helped us all learn more about the black history events in Topeka & in the public schools. He was so kind and thoughtful, always smiling and being supportive of our Head Start goals and mission. He was truly one of my friends and he gave me strength to...

Albert was a good story teller. I loved listening to Albert's stories and more often than not, I laughed until I had tears my eyes.

Al was a kind man who truly believed in education and in reading books! Kansas NEA's Reading Circle program was the perfect job for him.

My sincere sympathy to Albert's family along with my prayers.

Albert was a dear friend to me. His work with Head Start was something we had in common. Albert was one of the most kind and intelligent people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He made me the most wonderful wedding gift and I am so happy to have known him. Albert made the world a better place, and it will still continue to be better because of his efforts. Albert, I love you! Say hello to my Mama and Grandpa. Bon Voyage my friend. I know you will be happy to see your sweet wife again...

During the nine years I worked for the K-NEA I worked with Albert Carrington in the Reading Circle. Every librarian in Kansas knew Albert and his love of the books we had in the Reading Circle. When Albert "went on the road" to attend education workshops around Kansas, his booth was always surrounded by teachers and librarians. I learned more about black history from Albert than I ever learned in school. Albert was one of the kindest most gracious people I have ever known and he was...
