During his childhood, Albert attended St. Elizabeth Catholic School, Belle Rose, and Napoleonville Elementary, all located within the bayous of Louisiana. As a young man at 16, Albert moved to Houston, Texas with his sister, Violet Padgett. Just one year, later he proudly enlisted in the United States Navy, dutifully serving four years as a United States Sailor. Albert met and married Shirley Mullenax in June of 1961. Albert and Shirley became proud parents of their only child, Jared, in 1969. Later in his life, Albert moved to Kosse, Texas to be closer to his niece Flora Flippin Reigert and her family. Albert brought a new light to the small town of Kosse and was soon proud to call it his home. Albert shared his passion for dance, domino skills, joined many local clubs and made wonderful friends.
