Baseball brother, we love you. We treasure the time we had together over the past few years, at Chuck’s funeral and afterwards. You always made us laugh, even when you were staring death in the eye. We will continue to gather in your memory and hoist a glass or two to you. We wish for your family’s comfort and strength, now and from this time on.

Joy and family…..even though we were only passing friends and neighbors for almost 20 years your Albert was always friendly and had the biggest smile each time we ran into you two. Your days will be lonely and nights will be long. But your memories, friends and faith will keep you strong. I’m just around the corner and I will check on you.

My deepest condolences to Jesse, Raymond, Eddie, Lisa, and Mary. Albert had many friends in High School. He was a few weeks younger than I. As youth, we played Little League baseball, as adults we played softball along with his brothers. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Randy “my cousin” Rodriquez told me. He didn’t know how well I knew Albert and the McKinnis family. Small world. My brother Lupe Acevedo and I talked recently. Lupe was married to Esther Ozuna, Juan’s brother. I will forever keep Alberts High School memories of watching him play for the Unicorns basketball team and of our time together in adult sports as will many. Through Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
Rest in Peace fellow Unicorn. we always had fun playing sports or just hanging out. The good times we had in junior high. We’d walk across the street to Superdog or Walt’s Triangle to get a huge basket of fries for $.50. sending thoughts and prayers for comfort and strength for your family.
My condolences to those many in the McKinnis family and to all the knew (my cousin) Albert. Blessings and peace to all as we all know heaven has embraced a wonderful man, with an unending smile.
