On Feb 11, 1950 he married Marlys Rue at the Bethlehem Ev. Lutheran Church in Mankato. Albert served in the United States Army from 1952-1954 during the Korean Conflict. After his honorable discharge, he worked as a hired hand for another farmer for 1 year before returning to his family farm. He was proud when the farm achieved Century Farm Status in 1985. Albert was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Madelia and also served on the Lincoln Township Board for many years. Albert enjoyed the occasional hunting and fishing trip, when time allowed. He liked taking the family on road trips, something he and Marlys enjoyed doing even after their daughters were grown. Albert was interested in his Norwegian heritage. He enjoyed visits from his relatives in Norway and anyone with whom he could practice speaking Norwegian. People were encouraged to stop in anytime because "The coffee pot was always on". Albert's greatest joys during the last few months were frequent visits from his great-grandchildren.
