Paul 55,114 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Albert Bair was a guy JJ (my former wife) and I helped when he first came to the Philippines. For the past three years, he has been living on Camotes. Anyone know him, or can verify whether this is true or not? Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if he was still with Cathy, or not, Graeme. He and I lost touch late 2005. Any further detail I would have to communicate with you via PM. Link to post Share on other sites

shadow 18,483 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 There are numerous people on this forum that knew Albert. From LinC yahoo group; Hello Everyone, I received a text this evening from Albert's GF. I am sad to report she informed Albert passed away this evening over complications from Pneumonia. This is all I know. I did email Albert a week ago as I am moving back to the states for a while. He asked me to stay on and co-moderate so I will honor his wishes for the foreseeable future. He did say in his email he was not feeling well at that time. So this is all I know. If anyone has more details, please share. I leave tomorrow the 19th for Manila and out to the states on Tuesday the 23rd. Thanks everyone and God Bless Shawn Bragg Link to post Share on other sites

shadow 18,483 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Why would you have been banned for posting that he died? Uhhh, plagiarism? LinD Link to post Share on other sites
donroberts 7 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I visited with Albert quite a lot over the past few years--He was his own unique person-- boater, motorcycle rider- (ex--motocross racer)- He was a very heavy smoker== maybe that contributed to his demise-- he had a nice little house he rented in Camotes- a nice girl- (very quiet-- I hope she will be OK)- Anyway, he had made a nice life for himself, & it's sad he didn't get more time to enjoy it.

JohnD 1,658 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I checked and Albert did pass away and was cremated and apparently his ashed were scattered in the Camotes Sea. He was a nice guy. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 55,114 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yep, all true. His g/f informed me of it as well. His wife had flown in from California last Sunday, I believe? That was to help settle everything here. She was originally from Bacolod, Negros Occidental. However, they had been estranged for years. Actually, he and his wife had an odd relationship, in my opinion. But, whatever. He's gone now. Link to post Share on other sites
