I knew Albert for a long time, having been married to his brother Barney for 57 years. He always welcomed us in his home after he moved to Streeter when we visited North Dakota. He was a man of many talents and could do almost anything. My sympathy of his family, may God bless you with comfort and the knowledge that he lived a full life.
