Albert grew up in Fort Worth, Tx with his six siblings and multiple cousins from both sides of the family. One of their favorite activities as young kids was to play baseball and football wherever they found an empty field. As a young adult he worked for Whataburger, Tandy Inc, Rooms to Go. He was a kind and lovely brother and friend. Albert met his wife Tori at a family event that his sister had brought her too. They had dated for about 2 years before they got married, He was a loving father to his three children daughter Courtney and his two step sons Christian & Joshua. He loved getting together on the weekend with friends playing dominos, darts, spades and cornhole. For 15 plus years he spent the majority of that time at the Burleson baseball/softball fields either coaching his daughter or the boys. He made some lifelong friends and great memories in those fields. He loved being out in town and getting stopped by his former players whether it was from baseball or softball. He enjoyed hearing about what that had been up to over the years. He was a people person and loved making people laugh.
