On behalf of the Clouden Family (Meldron, Myrtle, Marilyn, Marjorie, Ann, Junior and a host of great nieces and great nephews), we extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to our cousins Michael and Shelly and their families on the passing of their dad (our dear uncle). May you all be comforted by the many memories of him that you now cherish and hold dear. We remember Uncle Albert more as a dad, as he was a constant presence in our lives and he helped us in so many ways throughout the years. He was the epitome of what it means to be family. We remember his joyous spirit, his love for the races and card games, and his love of cooking. And who could forget how he teased us when we were little or his jokes--he always had one ready to share. And yes, that smile of his that always put you at ease. We won't forget him. And now that his journey is over, May He Rest in Peace and Glory! - Posted by: Marilyn Clouden (Niece) on: May 12, 2023
