I guess I have known Mr Albert my whole life.He was always a happy friendly guy with a smile on his face and always a story,joke or tall tale ready to tell.Taylor thought the world of him and was always telling me something Papaw had said or done. He and his wife raised a fine group of kids that I am proud to call my friends to me that is a fine legacy to leave when our Lord calls us home.Mr Albert will be missed!

"Mr. Albert. " You left a ray of sunshine in every life you touched. I will always remember your quick smile, witty humor and sincerity. You will surely be missed by many.
I can almost hear the giggle in your voice as you "step inside the gate" to join Jesus and all of those who have gone before you.
I will be praying for your family left behind.

Dear Bosnick Family,
Mr. Albert was part of our St. Andrews family! In fact, almost every memory I have of our small Marianna church includes Mr. Albert and Mrs. Knoxylene sitting in the front, serving as a example for the rest of us. Mr. Albert was s pillar in our church, and we will always remember his service to our community. We will miss his smiling face and his kind nature--he was a gift to us all.
