Albert was born in New Orleans, and lived most of his life in Marrero. He also spent 17 years living in Dugway, Utah, and Blackfoot, Idaho, before returning home to Marrero. He was a proud U.S Army veteran who served in the Vietnam War. After serving his country, he enjoyed a lifelong career in law enforcement for a variety of police departments in southeast Louisiana and in the federal system. Albert was also a firearms instructor for many years, which he enjoyed immensely. He enjoyed riding his bicycle, and rode for many miles on each trip. He also enjoyed traveling, and visited most of the 50 states throughout his life with his wife at his side, along with his beloved canine companions on later trips.
