Albert Jan 2020

Our condolences on Albert's passing. It was always great to visit with Albert, Evelyn, Brenda, Roger and Sara. He lived a great life, including his time in Europe when he was in the Army. We were happy to see him whenever we visited California.

This video of our Uncle Albert shows that he was always the life of the party, and a great friend to everyone. I am very happy Israel and I visited him early 2020.

I am praying for your loved one. Albert sounds like he had a wonderful life, surrounded by family and friends. I am saddened he was inflicted with the Covid Virus.
Treasure your happy memories of him.
