He was a wonderful man full of life and very intelligent. Very generous to his family and extended family which included my children that he treated as his own grandchildren. We will miss him & always think fondly of him as we are grateful to have had him in our lives Blessings to all his family and friends and May God give him Peace and Rest In His arms.
Albenie was a beloved family member as we respected our cousin. Also as a brother Knight, we worked together on
many community projects. He was pleasant to work with. Rest in peace. God bless.
