I am so sorry. I just found out. Albert and I played many matches at Bath and Racquet and the Oaks over the years.
He was a gentleman, a fine tennis player, a good friend and a wonderful person. I will miss him a great deal.

I have many fond memories of Al on the tennis court in his later years. Lots of style and finesse that would have made him a tough competitor when he was younger. Wonderful sense of humor with lots of stories. He was a special guy who will be missed by all who knew him.

I was a Plant Hi classmate with Albert. I also grew up on Davis Islands. I lost touch with him after graduation. I'm sorry for your loss.
