Albert was born on April 27, 1940 to Joseph F. and Helen M. Schick of Harrison, NJ. He graduated from Harrison High School and went on to earn a double Bachelor’s Degree from Jersey City State College in Fire Science and Geology.
Albert married his high school sweetheart, Margaret (Marge), in 1964, and they had two children, Christine and Joseph.
Albert was employed for 10 years as a firefighter for the Town of Kearny, NJ, until an injury necessitated his retirement from the force. He then went on to work as a private security guard for Mack-Cali Realty Corp. in Jersey City, NJ, for almost 20 years before retiring.
After retiring, he enjoyed attending outdoor concerts, indulging his creative side in art classes, taking in nature at local Forest Preserves and, especially, talking with and about his grandchildren.
Albert was predeceased by his parents and his brother, Joseph, Jr. He is survived by his wife of over 56 years, Marge; his sisters, Madeline (Jack) Hill and Marylyn (Ray, Sr.) Mobus, and brother, Stan (Barbara Ann) Schick; his two children, Christine (Daniel) Dudlak, and Joseph (Marisa) Schick; his four grandchildren, Jennifer and Alexander Dudlak and Blake and Taylor Schick; and seven nieces and nephews.
The family held private services at Malec & Sons Funeral Home. Donations in Al’s memory can be made to
