Dear Zena,
What memories I have of Albert! A mensch, a person of conviction, a terrific husband, a loving father. Albert also had my respect as a fellow board member of BJBE. His thoughtful contributions to board meetings reflected his intelligence, business acumen, and comittment to the temple and its members. He is remembered with love. May his memory be for a blessing.
Fondly, Sandee
