Albert was a favorite of my cousins. He was larger than life. His heart was so full of love for family. It was a joy to have been related to him and share even a part of his journey. Denise, our prayers are with you and the family

I will always remember The Times of going out hunting with him some fishin with him then and all the laughs we had together. And the time he took me down to his home town and took me up to the state line bar there and save my butt from getting whooped after drinking too much all the times when I had my little tree planting business and he come out and work with me when i needed help. and scared the crap out of me driving down the road in his Cordova fall asleep at 70 miles an hour going down the freeway he just say it was ok just resting my eyes bobbalew pretty funny . the good advice he gave me like when he met my girl and told me you better marry this one shes a good women and that I won't find one better 35 years latter still have a great wife.
what a big heart he had how much he loved life and everyone in his life . So glad he was part of our lives .now he's singing and dancing for Jesus wow that's awsome

I will always be your first granddaughter :). I wish that we had gotten to spend more time together as adults. We always had the best of times when I was a child. I remember grandpa always made us hot chocolate on the wood stove from scratch. None of that packet stuff for him.
I am so glad that I got to have many great conversations over the past couple years. He must have thought I was always online because I would get an IM on my phone any time of the day. I was excited to see that it was from him.
I will always love him. I have many memories from childhood to make it until I see him again.
