Albert worked at G&H Mechanical Laboratory, Wayne starting with the company in 1948 as a Toolmaker where he worked his way up to President. He was co-owner with his long time best friend Andy Morgade and they sold their successful business in 1987 and Albert retired in 1990. He was a member of the New Jersey Tool and Die Association for many years.
He was a long time member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, North Caldwell where he sang in the choir and joined St. Timothy Lutheran Church, Wayne in 1996.
