I am going to miss Albert so much…I was always so glad to see him. In my mind’s eye, he will always be sitting in his garage with my brother-in-law Mark and the two of them telling tall tales. You’d have thought he was Irish! He was such a gentle man, a good friend, a wonderful neighbor and someone you could count on when your life depended upon it. I know this is going to leave such a immense void in Winnie’s life after being married for so many years to Albert. They truly were a partnership in every thing they did. My condolences to Winnie and her family and may their grief be lessened by the loved ones and friends that will surround them through this loss.
Becky we just wanted to let you know our condolence. May the good Lord give you and your mom and family members peace in your heart and mind, God Bless. The Richards.
Sending thoughts and love.

Mr. Hunt was like a father, brother and my best friend all wrapped up into one. I will miss him so much. Always made me feel so welcome when I pulled up in the driveway! Sitting next to him in his garage was one of the highlights of my life. Save a chair for me up there Mr. Hunt!
