Albert D. Kollar

Have a Happy 2nd Birthday in Heaven, Al! You are missed buddy.

I am so sorry at the passing of Albert. We had many wonderful discussions about the stones, marbles and brachiopod fossils - particularly in the Grand Staircase of the Carnegie Museum(s). Until he told me I never knew the Oakland complex had as many varieties in marble and stone as did the Paris Opera House. I'll miss walking across Europe (Irish Connemara, Italian Verona and French Hauteville) with him. And, our later talks about the geology in John Kane paintings.

Albert was a good friend and supportive colleague for the two decades we worked together here at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Nobody knew more about the geology of the Pittsburgh region and the many fossils found here. He will be missed.

Rest in peace even thow you shall be missed by many.

Al was such a great guy, athlete and scholar. Condolences to his family, co-workers and close friends. May you rest in peace my friend.

I worked for Albert for over 23 years. We collaborated on so many projects. I will miss him so very much. I will miss his humor and the great sandwiches he made and so many more things as well. Love and God Bless.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
