Albert E. Counterman

I was in Albert`s first band,The Coachmen,lol,in Hackettstown high school.Albert plated bass and sang,but he was a drummer first,and a good one.He had a brand new set of silver sparkle Ludwigs in 1966, and generously brought them to the HHS band room and let the Ringo wnnabes play them.Always a gentleman and mature beyond his years.

Dad
I know to most this may be silly writing to you in this book but as you always said i'm not always right in the head but it helps.
So anyway My birthday is a week away but it only sorrows me to realize this because i'm getting older and it brings me that much closer to the anniversary of the worst day in my life the day you left this place to go to a better place. Good for you selfishly bad for me . but was really thinking of you alot lately so thought i'd write miss you alot.

HAPPY Holidays we missed you SO very much on Thanksgiving your dinner prayer was aborted in rememberance of you, and your vibrant and loving messages of the past so many years was missed purpously in a "moment of silence" of sorts.
It will be hard to start to "take on" the simplest of Holiday traditions, that we all took for granted you did. From dinner prayers to trying to keep the happiest of moods during the stressful times of the season.
I think of you all the time and miss you...

I know I'm a day early, but I just wanted to say, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY Dad. I love & miss you very much. This is a hard day to celebrate when you're not with us. I can't call you like I used to, but I know that you are watching over us all & our own family's knowing that we love & miss you very much. I love you. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!
Love your daughter,
C.J.

Dad it has been over a week Since You’ve Been Gone you’re Free as a Bird now to become a Shooting Star. We all miss you greatly down here; it may have been years since you were being A Highway Star, a Jukebox Hero, Living after Midnight, and Playing in a rockin band. I know rockin is properly spelt rocking but I’m trying to put in Rock God terms so that when you are up there playing with...
