Albert was a 'jack of all trades.' He enjoyed breaking things down to build them again, and could fix anything even if it seemed impossible. Albert was fond of working on cars with his grandson, Mike. He
was an avid bowler, who also liked to hunt, fish and feed the birds. Albert read the Bible just about everyday. He often talked about his younger days; stories of his childhood and the adventures he had with his siblings. Albert was a great cook, and his favorite dishes to make were mac and cheese, chicken fried steak and chicken and dressing. He was the manager at the Mason Tyler Furniture Plant for many years and when retired, worked for the Hamilton Supply company of Tyler, Texas. Albert was a very giving person, and no matter when it was everyone knew he would help in any way he could at any time. He loved spending precious time with his family and friends, but knew no stranger.
Albert is survived by his daughter, Donna (Phil) Gaylin; grandson, Mike (Reneé) Ivy; great grandchildren, Brendan Ivy and Kaylee Ivy; and numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
Albert is preceded in death by his most precious wife of 39 years, Gloria Eschberger; as well of his 11 older siblings.
