Albert was a creative soul who poured his talents into everything he did. He was an artist with interest and talent in writing, painting, woodwork and sculpting. He found joy in using his gifts to create something meaningful. He poured his life’s work into authorship and his book Cosmism: The God Particle in Steady States’s Theory. He lived life on his own terms, a fiercely independent and free-spirited soul and was loved by many and will be remembered by his sharp sense of humor and the one-of-a-kind, contagious laugh. Albert embraced a simple life, though he always had a soft spot for cars, especially Mercedes and BMWs
