So incredibly sorry for your loss Marie & Natalie. Just found out today. We were in Panama for the last 7 weeks. The memory of Albert is forever in our hearts and his very unique laugh, although not very loud, could always be identified in a crowd! Marie, words can't express the shock and sadness of hearing this news from Ed. Although it's been too many years since Nannette and I have seen you and Albert, the great memories of our school and early adult years together are not ones of history but right in the forefront of our minds. Fiercely competitive, an annoying but loyal Riders fan, and someone who was always up for an evening of doing absolutely nothing is what rings truest of Albert.
