I am so sorry for your loss. My fiancee's mom and step father live across from Mr.Stark's house, and we all liked him very much. He was a very sweet man. And will be dearly missed in this household. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of his family.

My deepest sympathy to the Stark family on your father's/husband's passing. May you find comfort in the many wonderful memories of him. He touched so many people's lives in so many positive ways. I can remember watching Albert walking briskly up West Street as we was going to school, church or on an errand--I think he invented the power walk! He often walked to places instead of driving. Well, maybe that was because his teenagers always had the car! He was such a great dad to his kids. He was always so understanding of teenagers' idiosyncrasies. He was definitely the favorite neighborhood dad!! I can remember always looking forward to visiting the Stark home because of Albert's great sense of humor and Gladys always had special treats. He was also a very intelligent man and enjoyed conversing about many topics. He was always interested in what you were thinking, as well. I can remember sitting at the Stark home watching professional baseball games on the tv during summer vacation and discussing Boog Powell and the Baltimore Orioles. Albert always marched proudly in the Memorial Day parades. How many times did he drive half the neighborhood kids to Harvey's Lake? I could go on and on with the many fine memories of Albert. You were all blessed to have such a great dad and such a great husband. I feel very lucky to have known him. My best to you all.
