A U.S. Navy veteran, Albert was employed as a computer programmer at the Bethlehem Steel Co. and later at Daytimers. During his retirement he enjoyed working at Lowe's in Bethlehem where he derived great joy from interacting with customers. Al was a member of Life Church, Nazareth, and attended Grace Church of Bethlehem. He served as assistant scout master of Boy Scout Troop 302 many years ago and was very committed to blood donation at Miller Memorial Blood Bank. Surviving are a son Kevin and wife Lynnette of Bethlehem; a daughter Wendy Kline and husband Thomas of Allentown; and four grandchildren Christian, Josiah, Grace, and Benjamin.
