I was sorry to hear of Al's passing So many of my brother Officers have gone Home.  I remember when Al came into my squad in The Northern District. I should be ashamed because I thought an old man was coming into the squad. I even asked what he did before the PD if I remember right he said he was a machinist. At that time machinist made fair money. So being an ignorant smart ass kid out of college I asked why he would want to be a Police Officer. He said he wanted to help people to bring meaning to his life. Even I could not argue with that as we had that in common. He worked 523 car I worked 524 car so we were side partners. It wasn't long before I realized that old man was the best back up I had on a bad call. We were there for each other for the six years. Then I made Sergeant and went to the Southern District. I think some the advice Al gave me helped me get my stripes. He had a mature knowledge that you do not get in any college and I will always be thankful for our time together. I remember him telling me once maybe we should stop and think before we rush in it was a narrow door way I being young and gung ho was going to rush through the half open door.  We went up to the door and Al kicked the door the rest of the way open pinning a knife wielding wanted suspect between the door and the wall behind it. It caught the suspect off guard and we made the arrest without injury to us.  The suspect was dazed. That taught me that Tombstone courage can get you hurt . I was glad to hear he made Sergeant he had such a unbelievable understanding of human nature. It was an Honor to have known Al. I know his family will miss him and the world will be diminished by his absence. But when we all go Home we will see him again and enjoy his company.

Al was one of the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life.   The first time I met Al was  on my first arrest back in 1994. I brought my collar to Southern District  for processing and met for the first time this Legend of the Southern’sCellblock……
Al, the Desk Sgt!!!!    As I started the process of booking. My perp, I realized real quick that  I had not clue how all the paperwork needed to be done.  But I didn’t have to suffer long, for this Rookie had Sarge there to help me  migrated through the process.   Actuality , if I think about it now, I Sarge probably should’ve got the credit for that arrest with all the assistance he provided. Considering he actually did most of the  paperwork for me. lol.  
What O liked about Sarge during that moment and as I continued to work at Southern, and then out of HQ as a Detective, Sarge always had the patience enough to sit down with any Rookie to show them how things were to be done correctly. His patience, loyalty, friendship, and  his love for the job,, were the reasons why he was such a great man. I’d like to give my sincere condolences to his family, friends, and his brothers and sisters in blue! Rest in peace, Sarge! And thanks for showing and mentoring those hundreds of rookies, veterans, and even retirees, throughout  your career with the BPD. You’ll be truly missed!

I was very upset to hear that Al had passed on. In my 30-year career with the Baltimore Police department I always felt that I really lucked out to get the super visors that I got throughout  my career. Al was top tier as supervisors go. Al had a demeanor about him that could calm a storm and believe me Al had his hands full with me because I was a storm! That quality in itself made him a fantastic negotiator for the department. He certainly made it enjoyable for me to come to work each and every day. I don't know what plans the Almighty has for any of us but I do hope that in another life he's once again involved in my life. Rest in peace my friend, I hope we meet again!

My grandfather, Pappy, left behind a legacy of warmth, adventure, and unforgettable stories. He had a way of making every moment feel meaningful—whether through the vivid tales he shared from his days stationed in Germany with the army or during the quiet magic of our camping trips, where he’d sit by the fire and bring those stories to life.

Some of my most cherished memories are the simple ones—like when he’d pick me up from school, and we’d head straight to our favorite diner. We always sat in the same booth, talking about anything and everything, just enjoying each other’s company. He knew how to make the ordinary feel extraordinary.

And on my 21st birthday, Pappy insisted we celebrate with a B-52 shot—his idea, of course. That toast was more than just a drink; it was a moment of connection and celebration I’ll never forget.

Pappy’s life was rich with love, laughter, and the kind of wisdom only experience can teach. His stories, his spirit, and the memories we created together will stay with me forever.

Mr. Al was a great gentleman.  It was always a fun night at dinner with Mr. Al and Mrs. Linda.  The world has lost a gentle heart and a great and caring soul.  I know you will keep a watch over your beloved family.

I met Albert through his machinist friend who was the father of my x boy friend. He called me a hayseed but then he kept dating me asking me to marry him on Valentine’s Day in 1968. We shared many fun family times with his family up at the Juniata river camp. We went on many adventures with my family from camping to the three big trips:   Oberamagaue in Germany; Shakespeare’s home in England along with a short Irish visit where we all laughed as we  tried to speak “Irish”. Then off to the rainforest of Australia and land of New Zealand. He even enjoyed camping the weekend before he passed. Many happy memories we shared with friends and family through the years.

We were so sorry, and our hearts were broken when we heard that Albert had passed.  He was always a kind and wonderful man who cared about everyone.  Linda and his family were the love of his life.  We will always remember and cherish the laughs and wonderful times we spent together at family gatherings and the camp.  He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.  Albert will be remembered forever in our hearts.

Happy 83rd Birthday, Daddy 💙

Today, we celebrate you—knowing that the physical ailments you once endured are no more. Your glorified body is now free from arthritis, knee and shoulder pain, medications, cancer treatments, and prednisone. What greater birthday gift could there be than to be in the very presence of Jesus?

Though we miss you deeply here on earth, our hearts are comforted by the promise of reunion in Heaven. The memories we made—camping trips, visits to our home, birthday dinners, and holidays—are treasures we carry with us always.

We love you forever and always, infinity times infinity, to Heaven and back.

Until we meet again, Daddy… 💫

Dad mowing lawn at Duncan Manor. He insisted on cutting our backyard. Let’s just say it was “one & done.” He got off the zero turn mower & due to the vibration from the mower his entire body was shaking. He said he felt like a well blended drink!

With deepest gratitude and enduring love, I wish to express my profound appreciation for the countless memories, lessons, and moments shared with my father — a man whose legacy will forever echo through the lives he touched. His wisdom, strength, humility, and unwavering love have been the compass by which I navigate life.
 
 Each memory, from the smallest gesture to the greatest sacrifice, has been etched into the very fabric of my being. These cherished moments — his words of encouragement, his quiet resilience, his infectious laughter — are treasures I will carry with me for all my days.
 
 Though he may no longer walk beside me, his presence lives on in every choice I make, every value I uphold, and every memory I revisit. 
 
 My father was more than a parent — he was a legend, a guide, and my greatest example of what it means to live with purpose and heart.
 
 With honor and eternal love, I thank him for the life he gave, the love he showed, and the legacy he leaves behind.

Al and Linda Heinbaugh have been part of my life as long as I can remember. Seems like Al was always smiling. I was much yonger than them, but always thought Al was so cute with his blond hair! He will be in my heart forever.

Albert was always by Linda's side.  Even at our wedding.

Linda and family,

I’ve known Albert since 1977 when I moved to Maryland and was introduced to him by his wife Linda. In all the years since then I’ve never know Albert to utter a cross word (and Linda and I sure gave him reason to do so)!  He was probably the calmest human being I’ve ever met.  I didn’t see much of him in the last years of his life but I’ll remember him fondly. My sympathy and love to Linda, Susan, Carol Ann and Brian.  Heaven just got a lot more interesting!

My condolences to the Heinbaugh family during this time of sorrow. I worked in the Southern District when Sgt AL was there. I remember him always having a smile on his face. He will be missed by many.

So sorry for the loss of this amazing man. He was always so kind to me.He was funny and someone who made you feel like family.May he rest in peace.

Sad to hear of Al's last patrol. I worked with him in the Northern District he worked 523 car I worked 524 car we were side partners. That was until I was promoted and sent to the Southern in 1977. There is a bond between those who served together and you could always depend on Al to back you up even on bad calls. When I retired I worked for Baltimore County school board and met his lovely wife Linda.  My sympathy to his family he will be missed now that he is at the Great Roll Call in Heaven.

It was a true honor to work alongside Sgt. Heinbaugh for a long time.He describes the true definition of what gentlemen means. He always treated me with respect along with my wife. Our friendship continued after me both retired and he will be missed. Our condolences go out to his wife Linda and his entire family. Rest in peace Sgt.. Love Donna and Mel Jones

Albie was truly one in a million and will be missed.  Sending love and prayers to Linda, Susan, Carol, Brian, Glen, Dawn, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.  Thinking of you and so sorry for your loss.
Love,

Amy, Steve, Brennan and Griffin

My heart is with you and your family Linda.  Know that I am here for you.  Love, Rosalee

Albert was my next door neighbor for 18 years. He was always a good guy and was very caring. Condolences to his family and friends. May he Rest In Peace.

Heinbaugh  was trying to ride an scooter. Fun times. Rembering  you. Daphne

Al was a police mentor. Loved that guy! ALWAYS made time for us rookies. He was a huge part of my development and I credit him for making a better person, street cop and supervisor. He taught me to do it right and with compassion.

RIP Albert. Always enjoyed our conversation at the Seabee convention.
My condolences to the family.

My dearest Linda,  My sincerest condolences  and deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your beloved husband Al. I certainly will miss him at our luncheons.  May he rest in peace 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻😥💔.

Linda we are so very sorry about Al… he always loved his hot roast beef sandwiches at Sunshine Grille….♥️♥️♥️

I’m so sorry to hear of Al’s passing.   I can truly say that throughout my career with Baltimore City Police,  he was by far the kindest and most caring person I worked with.  Al always had time to talk, listen and offer his wise fatherly advice.  He will surely be missed.

The membership of Towson Lodge # 79 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows sends its deepest condolences to the Heinbaugh family. Albert was a long standing member of Towson Lodge and he will be greatly missed.
