He enjoyed travelling in his RV with the Kansas Twisters Motor Homes and especially loved his quarter horses. Albert was a member of the Kansas Quarter Horse Racing Association and was the proud owner of the top quarter horse in the county- his beloved Shogun. Albert supported the Kansas Oil Museum, USD 490 Partner in Education, Butler Community College, and so many other worthy organinzations and sincerely believed in giving back to his hometown.

Albert was one of the first men from ElDorado I met when my family moved there in 1969. He was a friend and customer to my dad. He helped my dad get to know the oil patch men of ElDorado & the surrounding area. I remember many times going to the Hogoboom office just to go in and talk to Albert. He was always warm, even tempered & glad to see ya. He will be missed.

Albert was always a happy fella and I'm sorry he had to go so soon. My best memory was when I was about 19. I was paying an insurance bill at Calloway Douglas. I had left my car unlocked and with the keys in it. When I went outside my car was gone. I didn't know what to do. Moments later, my car returned with Albert in the drivers seat. I didn't live that one down for a few years. His suffering is over. He left a hell of a legacy for y'all to live by.

I am Deeply Sadden to hear of the passing of one of my Hereo's in my life. I would call or run into Albert and ask for His advice not only about the oil business or horses but life and people in General. He was the Teacher and I the pupil. I had many Great times with Him and another Friend who has passed Don Baker. And the many nut fry's. A True Bulter County Legend. To His Family, my Thought's and Prayers at this time. Rest in Peace my Friend. Marty Hammer. Wichita Ks.
