"My Grandpa was not a big man in stature, but he was well loved and respected by all who knew him, he was a farmer who raised a large family, ruled with a iron hand and lots of love.  He stressed education for both his sons and his daughters, and was a devout Catholic.  To our sorrow, Grandpa passed away in April of 1972 in Dupo, Illinois." - Albert's granddaughter Tanya
