His parents are listed on his birth record as Percy F. & Grace T. Albee.
Excerpt from his obituary:
"William Albee, a graduate of Brown University, was born in Providence, R.I. on February 2, 1917, a son of the late Percy F. Albee and Grace A. Albee. He was predeceased by four brothers. In 1928, he went to Europe with his family and lived in Paris. While there, he attended French schools. He retired from General Electric in 1974, after having worked for thirty years in the electronics industry. In the Air Force during World War II, he taught Free French Air Force cadets how to use and service U.S. aircraft radio equipment...Bill meant so much to so many. His ability was such that there was hardly anything he wouldn't try to accomplish, even after losing much of his sight. He was not only brilliant, but wise. He was strong, and yet so gentle. He was a gentleman who will be loved and missed by all, especially his family."
