Julia & family,
Albert was a wonderful man & I hated to hear of his passing. I remember all of the times I was in your home; first thing every day he’d sit at the dining room table and read the newspaper. I would start talking to him and he’d grunt to acknowledge me, but he kept on reading that paper. That is my favorite memory of Albert — talking to him until he gave up and start chatting with me. I loved to pester him; it was fun & secretly I think he liked it, too. He just couldn’t let me know that…but I knew!! I will miss him and I have always thought of him when a carpenter was mentioned. He was the BEST!! As a carpenter, as a man and as my friend!!
Love ya,
Sharon
