He was also a 32nd Degree Mason in the Scottish Rite.

Albert enjoyed spending time with Eileen May (nee Kelly), his wife who was the love of his life, his family and friends, and driving and showing his 1958 Packard. He had a love of American History and his family's heritage. Albert worked with his mother researching information to document the family genealogy. He served as the Treasurer of the VFW Post #10185 of Toms River, NJ.

Surviving Albert is his beloved wife Eileen of 37 years, sons Michael (of Lansford, Pa.) and James (of Neptune, NJ), and brothers Ronald (of Belvidere, NJ) and Kenneth (of Westfield, NJ).

I went to school with Albert all through grammar school and high school. It turned out we both served in Vietnam at the same time but did not meet during that year. I would loved to have seen him in Vietnam or visited with him afterwards. I left Roselle in 1955 and never really returned. Albert will always be in my memory as a boyhood friend and classmate. May he rest in peace. Ben

Albert and myself were teen buddies who hung around and had lots of fun together with our common friends in Roselle usually playing soft ball with a small group of guys at every opportunity we had .He was always well mannered and had a Fun Attitude and we all enjoyed his presence.
Sadly, we lost touch until about a year ago when I heard he was being presented with his 50 Year Service Award Pin at Loyalty Lodge in Union, NJ. I had the privilege of Congratulating him and renewing a wonderful aquaintance.

Rest in Peace my Brother !

I was a classmate of Albert's all through George Washington Elementary School and Abraham Clark High School in Roselle, NJ. I also served with the 1st Cavalry Division in Vietnam, 1966-67, in the infantry, and can appreciate and admire Albert's service as a medic. He was always a gentleman, a serious person, and a friend. My condolences go to his family.
