One of the greatest men I have ever known. I have known Albert for about 55 years. He had a very humble spirit and I loved to hear him and Jack sing, oh so much. I know he will be missed tremendously by All who knew him. You are all in our. prayers. Love you all Garry Rogers
We’re thinking of you all and pray for peace and comforting memories.
Love,

George@Linda Thompson. He will truly be missed.
How to say enough about this humble, loving man who was always there from my earliest memories – first as ‘the boy next door’ as we grew up on Glady Fork Road, then my sister’s boyfriend, then my first brother-in-law, and most admired and beloved family member for more than 60 years. He taught us all about seeing the best in people and living by the Golden Rule. Just think about the difference he’s made in so many lives by his example. Love you, dearest Albert. Happy for where you are today and the reunions in Heaven.
