He was born in Superior, AZ and grew up in Kingman, Bagdad and Jerome, AZ. He went to the Army and upon discharge settled in Tucson. He started his small lathing & stucco business with his sons, Jaime & Eddie. He was a very hardworking man and family was his love and priority and would do anything for them. There were many memorable family vacations which will never be forgotten. He was a caring, giving, and compassionate person and was loved by so many. He would take the shirt off his back for you, which he literally did many times. He participated in many activities such as helping out with his sons little league, cub scouts and altar boys. He was an avid fan of the University of Arizona Wildcats and NFL team New England Patriots. He hosted many years of Super Bowl parties at home. Albert was a good husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He also took the role of “Tata” to many nieces, nephews and family friends. His greatest quality was his spiritual faith; God and the Blessed Mother came before anything. There is so much more we could say about him. We thank our family and friends and are forever grateful for the love, support, and prayers during his long illness. A special thank you to all the staff at Arista Healthcare.
