What can I say. I think I first met Al when I was 7 - 8 years old. Quick friendship developed that I still feel today as if he was still alive. Great dad and a truly wonderful person. Had a great bucket trip with you in the year prior to his death.
Thank you for being my friend.

Uncle Albert
He was and always will be Uncle Albert to my daughter, Marisa, since she was born. I was in Tucson and Albert in Mesa. We had many laughs back then.

Chatted with him today while at Costco buying a rig to wash the car. He was diligent at keeping the car spotless all by hand. He would laugh at me now...

Albert's greatest legacy is the two beautiful boys he left behind who grew into two wonderful men he would be proud who gave you 5 beautiful grandchildren. You will be missed
