Albert was a very nice person to know. My sincere condolences. I would usually meet Albert at McDonald's Restaurant on Business U.S. 51 in Stevens Point, WI. Or at other community venues. It was always nice talking and learning about the history of the Portage County area. May God (Boze) rest Albert's soul. I will remember Albert in my prayers.
