Yours was a life well lived. You were an adventurer who loved to see the world. You loved to laugh and play. Your joy was to provide for, protect and simply spend time with us. You guided us and supported us as we learned to crawl, walk, run, dance, sing, skate... Then you encouraged us to fly and cheered us on every moment of the way. You were a pillar of integrity, loyalty, and truth, with family always coming first. Our hearts break as we say good-bye for now, knowing you are in a better place Albert~Daddy~Opa, free from pain and filled with joy. Thank you for this amazing life you built for us. Your spirit and strength live on in our hearts and in us. Albert~Dad~Opa we love and miss you beyond measure. Until we meet again, farewell.
He lived, he laughed, he loved.
Husband, Dad, Opa.
Forever in our hearts.
