I worked with Albert for many years at Ammanford swimming pool, I can honestly say Albert was one of a kind,it was an honour to work with him,when my husband was on strike 1984,he put many extra shifts my way as he knew we were struggling, I will always be to him,I always think of him with fondness, rest in peace dear friend,never forgotten
