I will always think of Mr Albers red poppies and his delicious tomatoes. Loved seeing his garden grow. Thank you, Mr Albers.

Mr. Albers was a kind and gentle neighbor. He spread so much joy to our community through his gardens. I stopped and admired his red poppies every year, often taking a photo. He always offered a huge warm smile to my family. I admired his dedication to spending his days outside gardening and caring for his home.  His presence and kindness will be greatly missed. 

What a generous loving neighbor we had in James Albers. He and Maggie were delightful to our growing children, encouraging them to explore the flowers, the garden, and having special Halloween candy set aside in bags with their names on them. He was an example to us of how to care for a beloved spouse. His care for Maggie was sacrificial and from the heart. He was a gentleman through and through. His generosity extended to all around with the beauty he created through his flowers - especially his red poppies.  He was a jewel. 

We were fortunate for the chance to share his special day with him.

Lisa, Linda and your families -
Daniela and I wish our adoration for your wonderful dad could somehow magically reduce your heartache. 
Knowing him since the 1970s has been a true gift. He was very helpful with yearly lawnmower maintenance  advice and always had that elusive gizmo or some WD-40 I needed. It was the perfect excuse for a chit-chat visit! I really treasure time spent with him in his garden as we traveled down memory lane discussing how much Austin, it's people and the skyline have changed since he lived on the East side.
Mr. Albers had a kind and gentle soul. I don't ever recall him saying anything negative about someone unless it was a deserving politician on either side of an issue.
He leaves us with MANY MANY fond memories and I hope his colorful flowers continue to spread and brighten nearby yards and gardens in our neighborhood for years to come.


an incredible loss to the neighborhood, we’ll miss him immensely, but also so glad he has found peace ❤️

We will miss you, Mr. Albers.  Thank you for the joy you brought us through your magical garden.

James brought so many people in the neighborhood together. His pecans, gardens and poppies were known throughout the neighborhood.  We had friends who lived in other parts of town who knew his yard because of his poppies.  He won over many kids with a handful of cracked pecans. 
We loved celebrating his 95th birthday with him.  Many people from the neighborhood came to celebrate with him. Just another example of how everyone’s love for James brought us together.
