Albert lived life with enthusiasm and a warm spirit. He enjoyed golfing, bowling, playing poker with friends, and cheering on the Mets and Rangers. An avid reader, he rarely went a day without diving into something new. Above all, he was a devoted family man, known for his stories, magic tricks, and ability to spark wonder and imagination in children and adults alike. He touched countless lives with his kindness, humor, and generosity.
