Uncle Al, Pat and Camellia have been an important part of our journey in life. Over the past 30 plus years, we've spent our summers traveling throughout the state of Georgia, visiting them at their home, breaking bread together, sharing in the love of music and Christian songs, fellowshipping with them both at home and with their church family. Their support and encouragement enabled us to fulfill a lifelong dream of relocating from our hometown in Detroit Michigan to Covington Ga in July 2020.Our lives have been enriched because of their love and support. Patricia, Stratford and Kira Johnson.

I'm saddened to hear of my, long time friend, Albert's, passing. I always admired his character and moral standing. Working with him made your day better and more pleasant. At work we joked and cut up. We even had a nickname we used for each other. We addressed each other as 'Best Ole'. Inferring that we were Best friends. It was always a treat visiting him at his home. I felt so welcomed and loved. He ended up buying a truck from me. It was another connection of our friendship. He was a wonderful husband, Dad, and grampa. And above everything else, he was a shining testimony and example of Jesus, his Lord and Savior. He will be missed by all who new him. Blessings of comfort and peace for Pat Camille, and the extended family. Until we see each other again, 'Best Ole', rest well my friend.

Our deepest sympathy and Prayer is extended to the entire Family. Ken and Denise Bynam

While working at the post office with him, I was smiling big to learn he was marrying one of my cousins. I respect the love he had for his family. I will also remember his love for music. Lamar & Diane
