I just learned of Albert's passing. He was a terrific person. All of us - growing up at Carolina Beach - thought the world of Albert. His sense of humor, consideration for others, love of the ocean and zest for life were endearing. It was always blessing to see him! May God bless Albert and his family. Sincerely, Dennis Frisbee

Albert was a great person to be around. I learned a great deal from him about civil war relics. I will miss sitting around his den and just talking about old and new relic hunting stories. He will be missed greatly. Whitehurst family
