On Oct. 28, 1934, he was united in marriage to Ella Wedel. God blessed this union with the birth of three children: Marlene, Jerry and Karen.
Albert was known by many as a competent mechanic. For 18 years he operated his own shop north of Moundridge. In February 1953 he sold his equipment and accepted a position with the Joe Goering Chevrolet Company of Moundridge, where he had served ever since.
Upon his confession of faith in Christ, he was baptized by E. M. Yost and became a member of the Lone Tree Church of God in Christ Mennonite Church on March 3, 1927. On Dec. 25, 1950 he united with the West Zion Mennonite Church of Moundridge where he was a member until his death.
