Albert and Shirley were always married with a special and great relationship. They always had the communication, friendship and love for their children and grandchildren. We showed dad that we cared and loved him by being beside him through all the years of sickness and throughout his life. Al was a quiet guy who always had great talks and advice with family and friends. If dad knew you were doing wrong, he would let you know, along with giving advice. Al was battled diabetes throughout the years and his heart couldn’t handle anymore stress. He had numerous heart attacks through the years and also went through numerous surgeries for his heart and just recently in December of 2010 his right foot was amputated. Al and his baby Venus had their own close relationship, dad would always unlock his door for her.
