Dear Linsenbardt Family, One church workday, Albin was there as usual working along with the rest of us. One of the younger workers said to me, “My goodness, he can outwork me!” Albin was well into his nineties at the time. Despite what I am sure were some harrowing experiences in WWII, Albin had a calm presence that made visiting with him enjoyable and reassuring. The last time I saw Albin was at Steve’s Restaurant where I was having lunch with a member of Trinity. He was very gracious as he came over to our table, shook my hand, and asked how Carole ( my wife) and I were doing. Rev. Ed & Carole Merckel
