Albert attended school in Bedford until the 11th grade. Albert would have graduated in 1934, but due to hard times he had to quit. In October of 1938, Albert married Juanita Laron. To this union one daughter, Elaine, was born on July 15, 1942. Elaine has five grown children: Steve, Felisa, Tara, Talea and Dallas.
Albert worked on his father's farm until he was called to active duty in World War II on April 25, 1944. He was stationed in Camp Robinson at Little Rock, Arkansas. He fought with the Fifth Division overseas with General Patton. He was honorably discharged on December 5, 1945 with four Battle Stars, a Purple Heart, and an Infantry Rifle Badge.
On April 6, 1953 he married Idle Larson. To this union one daghter, Jolene, was born on September 4, 1963.
Albert worked for the Bedford Building Supply from 1946-1967 under the supervision of Paul Cobb, Roy Wolkmar and John St. Claire doing plumbing and other construction work. Albert lived to work and was always active. In 1967 he went to work for Glenn Burroughs until he retired in 1990.
Albert was a member of the Bedford Fire Department since 1958 and was involved in the John F. Hardin American Legion Post #164 in Bedford. He was a loving and caring family man and loved working for the public. He always put others before himself and never complained, even in the later years when his health was failing. He loved to garden and do yardwork. He was an avid birdwatcher and loved his three dogs.
Albert was preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Juanita; brothers, Ernest, Galen, Glen, Junior and David Wade; and a sister, Marie.
