Leo, your kindness and generosity should never be forgotten. You were indeed a good man. Rest in Peace!

Uncle Leo, You set a high bar and perfect example of Christian life for the rest of humanity. We regret you were a part of our lives for such a short time, but in that time you made such a huge difference. We love you and you will be sorely missed.

My Prayers are with Mr. Alberts family.
I am a native Floridian and had the great honor to meet Leo Albert through his passion for helping others at various charities around Palm Beach.
My grandfather was a WWII veteran also. God Bless America, has always meant so much to our family too. Mr. Albert , your smile and passion for life will be missed by the younger philanthropists of Palm Beach County. You earned your "Angel Wings" !!!
Thank you for the inspiration.
God...

Leo:
The GENEROSITY you showed to your Northern "adopted" parish of St. Michael's, here in Palisades Park, NJ, will NEVER be forgotten by us. At a time when we needed help the MOST, you came forward in your usual quiet, unassuming and generous way, and, literally, saved us. No one even had to ask you. May God reward you for your generosity and loving support. And, May you rest in HIS loving arms, forever!

I am one of the RN's who cared for Mr. Albert during his stays at Good Samaritan. I had the privilege of being at this bedside when he made the transition from this life to the next. I listened as two of his brothers reminisced about their childhood memories in Maine, the antics of the 10 Albert children, and their loving mother and father. I am thankful for the brief glimpse that I had into the life of this much loved man. My sincere condolences to Mr. Albert's friends and family.

Leo - Your most generous gift was your loyal friendship and we will treasure it forever.
