Albert Patterson was born in Rocky Mountain Virginia to the union of James E. Patterson and Thelma Marie McGee on August 19, 1945. As a civilian before Vietnam War he was a factory and steel mill worker for 4 years. He joined the service and did his tour in Vietnam as a gunner (sharp shooter) and he was honorably discharged.
After Albert’s time in the military he became a father and when his children became adults he then became a loving Grandfather to 5 Grandchildren and Great-grandfather of 3. His life was filled with love, laughter, family and fun. Nothing could or would take that bright smile off of his face.
