Sorry to hear of Albert’s passing. I knew Albert for many years when he lived on Townsend Street. He was a gentleman for sure. Condolences to his family and friends.

I met Albert at Ed’s bookstore and always enjoyed my chats with him. A warm, charming and engaging man. I’m sure he will be greatly missed by all those fortunate enough to have known him.
