I will miss his visits. Always enjoyed a chat along the road doing my walks. He loved the lake, gardening, fishing off the dock, and visiting with friends. Fly high Al. My sympathies to Chris and the girls.

I am saddened with the passage of Albert. He was my cousin but I have not heard from him in years. My mother was Leoda Switzer Cates and was a sister to Uncle Chris. My mother passed in 2006. Family's do not stay in contact now a days like they used to which is sad. My deepest sympathies to the family.
