Albert Cole Jr. Memorial Fund

Donation protected
Albert (Al) Cole Jr was one of the nicest gentlemen you had the pleasure of meeting. He worked hard for his family all his life. He was a husband, a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather, brother, uncle and so much more. His greatest joy in life was making sure that his wife and boys were always taken care of. His wife Anita was the apple of his eye and provided for her with every ounce of his being while being married for 47 years. His four sons, James Cole, Albert Cole III (wife Sandra Cole), Jeffrey Cole, and Bob Cole (wife Crystal Cole) lost their best friend. He always looked out for his boys no matter what financial situation he was in, they always came first. He has six grandchildren and one great grandson. He loved bowling and vacationing with his family. 
Al was always known to take the long way home while on trips. He always took his family on the wildest trips down the weirdest roads. He was driving home on Tuesday out of his way and was brutally attacked for trying to help someone (he had just celebrated his 70th birthday on Monday December 11) But that was Al. He had a heart of gold and would do anything to help anyone, even a complete stranger. 
Wednesday evening after a meeting with the Drs at 830pm the family had to make a tough decision to remove him from life support so he would no longer suffer from all of his injuries. 
The family is asking for your help. No one ever expected him to die so horribly and so quickly.  We are asking for prayers and we need to raise funds for his funeral expenses to help his wife give him a proper burial.
