To Alberts Children, Sister Ruth, Brothers Bob, Tom and entended Family.



Albert, a proud Marine, of the

"Greatest Generation", was a classic! He was wise, soft-spoken, always happy, upbeat and really a great person!



I only met Albert about 5 years ago, at his Brother Bob's home in Light House Point, Florida. Ruth, Albert and Bob spent many happy hours talking and playing cribbage. Then we would always enjoy Helen's delicious dinners. What a wonderful person Albert was. He will truly be missed. You are all in my prayers.

I will always have fond memories of my Uncle Albert's humor, hospitality and knowledge. Whether he was barking orders to my cousins or serving his famous fried chicken on Sunday dinners at Hood avenue, there was always had a sense of humor about him that I have yet to find in anyone else in the world.



You will be missed Uncle Albert.

I was saddened to see the obituary in the paper today. I remember working with Al at Bradner Smith & Company. He was a pleasure to work with, honest and a good sense of humor. I remember his bow ties too. I dont remember when retired exactly but I knew him from 4/1983 till he retired. My condolences to his large family. Karen

I knew Al when I worked as a secretary for Wes Johnson at Bradner Smith back in the late 60's & early 70's. I remember him as the guy with the funny stories, but I can't remember if he had the cigar or a pipe in his mouth all the time (that was back when you could smoke in the office). Goodbye, Al! You'll be missed in this world.
