He later went to work for Malheur County as an Interpreter and Drug Court Specialist where he retired from. Albert was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease in 1983. Approximately one year later his sister Stella gave him one of her kidneys. Unfortunately, Albert's body rejected the kidney causing him to have to return to dialysis for a few years until he was blessed with a donor kidney in 1988, amazingly the donor kidney lasted 27 years until his passing. Albert enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting and most of all riding his 4-wheeler with his wife Arlene until her death in 2003.
