He was also the adoring brother of the late Francis, George, Walter, and sisters Barbara Keizer, Esther Capozzoli. A lifelong resident of Concord, Albert graduated from Concord High School where he was active in track and field and was a long-time record holder of the quarter mile. He was a member of the National Amateur Athletic Association, and attended Boston University. He was proud to follow his three older brothers into military service. Albert joined the Massachusetts National Guard in November 1951, and entered active service in the US Army during the Korean conflict, serving until 1956. He returned to the National Guard in September 1956 where he served until his retirement as a Master Sergeant in March 1983. In addition to his military career, Albert practiced as a real estate broker in Concord and the surrounding area. Throughout his life Albert was deeply involved in the civic life of Concord.
