Albert was a very kind soul, he would always come to our table and tell us about his tour in Vietnam, and his corny jokes, sometimes he would come to our picnics..he will be missed by all
Albert was truly one amazing man.And yes he loved singing.And when I had my Karaoke business back in 2012.He would always show.That man could sing.And yes always had a joke and a kind words to everyone.Prayers to family.He truly will be missed.I guess the man upstairs needed another good singer. I always joked with Albert and told him he could pass for Randy Travis‘s twin the way he sang.
My sincere condolences to his family including his sister Martha. Albert became friends with me and my husband through karaoke. He was a wonderful singer and did the best on Vern Gosden music. I talked to him Friday night at karaoke. He always had good things to say, never an unkind word about anything.
I miss my friend now and will always. RIP ❤️
