He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior when he was in high school and strove to live his life accordingly, with his priorities being God, family, and others. He instilled Christian values in his family and firmly believed that God had blessed him all his life. He was active in church and especially enjoyed evangelistic visits to others.

Albert was an example of kindness and love to his family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and anyone he met. He was wise, honest, a man of his word, punctual, neat, hard working, and had no use for alcohol or profanity. He had old fashioned common sense and was a problem solver. He was a good listener, generous, helpful, a peacemaker, and encouraged others to believe in themselves.
