Albert was such a classy gentleman......I will always remember the impecable way he dressed, always matching Birdie's outfit, his slalom skiing during several memorable summers at the Sun and Shadow Resort in the Ozarks, and his Oliver tractors.
You will always be remembered, Albert.

I have so many great memories at Albert and Alberta's. From playing kickball in the back yard, to eating some of Alberta's delicious food. They were wonderful people and will truly be missed. I had not seen Albert smile so much as he did when he was around Reese. She definitely made him very happy in the last year of his life. Thoughts and Prayers to all of the Sagle family during this time.

Bob, Dave and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Albert's passing. I always thought a lot of your dad and mom, Alberta. They were such a lovely couple. I remeber when watching them dance together, it was magic. I enjoyed the few times we visited them in their home. It was always fun to play baseball out in the yard. The dog was the best player on the field. May your memories sustain all of you in the days to come. You are in thoughts and prayers.

To Dave and his family, I didn't know your Dad but remember the many times that we played against each other at Iles park and other places. Then our sons played against each other in high school. Just wanted to share these moments with you. My prayers are with your family. Jim Satorius from Petersburg.
