For thirty years, Albert served his country in the United States Marine Corps. He retired with the rank of Master Gunnery Sergeant. In his free time, Albert enjoyed reading, playing golf, and watching old westerns. He was known to spend time working and tinkering on old cars. Albert was his happiest when he was outdoors. He loved going camping, and never turned down an adventure, which he referred to as “scooter poopin’.” Albert could be seen often at flea markets, finding the best deals on stuff, and at the beach with his loving wife, Kathy.
