When I would see Mr. Albertson at Mass at St. John's he was always sitting on the isle seat in a chair close to the back of the church and when I would walk over to say hello,always had his cane in hand and would raise it up and he would say he was raising cane in church which always made me smile! Such a wonderful man! He will be missed by his St. John's church family!
