Albert was my first cousin and being older than I always in my life. There is a picture of him holding me as a baby in his Graduation Cap and Gown. He was the Big Brother I did not have. Any significant event in my life he was there. We spent a lot of time around the dining room table in my parents house having coffee and conversations. I moved to Colorado, but the bond remained and I always had a place to stay when I came east. He was the family historian when ever I had a question on lineage. He always sent cards and notes for Birthdays and Holidays and when his name showed up on my phone a smile came to my face. I shall miss you my Dear Cousin. Love, JoAnn
