God mercifully and peacefully took Albert's hand while surrounded by his family at 1:30 a.m. on November 18, 2014. With the same strength and resolve that he brought to his life, he fought this last battle to stay on this earth but his body was not able to fight any more. At the age of 20, he courageously left his home town in Abruzzo, Italy in 1954 with the dream of a better life. 60 years later he has left behind a legacy of respect and success in the construction and land development industry that pales in comparison to the legacy of love of the family he has left behind.
