Memories and Condolences
for Robert Albert

Not sure what to say?





Dear All,

I was doing a google search of my own name and this link came up which I found very emotional. I am Alex Balkin and live in the UK. I was wondering if there was any family connection with my namesake on here. My email address is [email protected]. I look forward to possibly hearing from anyone in the 'Balkin' family as there are so very few of us here in the UK.......thank you....Alex

Dear Mrs. Albert and Carol,
Though more than 30 years have passed since I last saw Robert Albert, his image and his presence are still vivid for me. He was kind, gracious, and the living embodiment of the word "father." I happened on this notice by chance today, and am saddened by his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
