To Albert Jr.'s family and relatives:
Albert loved his children which are Colleen and Hal. I know he's going to the great beyond and will rest now and, so try to be strong for your dad as he wouldn't want you to grieve too much because it will make it harder for him to go where he's suppose to go when it's time to leave. Try to remember how much he loved you two...
