Albert was always a smiling and warm greeter at the church. He will be greatly missed. Having lost my father in 2007 and then my Mom January 6 this year, I can appreciate your grief. It is a comfort that they are in a peaceful place, however the hole left is great. May you be comforted by family and friends and allow yourselves the grief time you need. Sincerely, Cecile Gendron (WBC member)

Barbara, Cheryl & family,
I am so very saddened to read of Al's passing. He was a very sweet gentleman. My parents thought a lot of him. I'm glad I got to see you, Barbara and Al at Hannaford when I was home for a few weeks this winter. May your many fond memories of Al sustain you both though this difficult time. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
