Dear Reitz Family,
I met Albert several years ago at the New Image fitness center. We frequently walked on the treadmill next to each other and I enjoyed many conversations with him.
Albert was a very nice guy who cared deeply about his family. It was a pleasure to get to know him. My sincere sympathy to all of you
May he rest in peace.
We are very sorry for your loss. May God bless your Family.

Pat & Bill & Family: Sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. When it’s a father, an 87 year life is never long enough! God bless you all, and with hope that soon the many memories will put a salve on the hurt. He left a full and rich legacy, which includes you.
