My sincere sympathy to the Alberg family. As a former parishioner of St. Aidan Church, I remember Joe as a member of the music ministry as well as your family's presence at 8:30 AM mass which I always attended. My prayers are with you at this time.

I sang with Joe at St Aiden´s. He was the cantor and I the organist when I filled in. He was such a polite, kind young man. There was something very special about him. I´m so sorry for the family´s loss and for the loss St Aiden´s music ministry will feel. May Joe Rest In Peace.......

Mr. Alberg was my son´s music teacher throughout our year of distance learning. Every class was a treat for the students, and myself as well being an at-home parent, as I got to know how great Joe was at engaging with the students and making them laugh and sing and enjoy their time with him. I am so sorry for the loss that must be felt by his family, and the loss that I know so many students will have with his absence. I hope the thought of all the love felt for him by his students and parents like myself, will help in this very difficult time.
