It was with sadness that I read about Albert’d passing. When I lived in Weirton, I used to bowl with Albert and Frankie. I will never forget the way they could tell a story was like no one else I have every met. They could make me laugh so hard I would cry. It seemed that every time they went to a Pirates game, it would be an adventure.
