Celebrating the life of
William Anthony Albrecht, Sr.
November 29, 1938 - November 24, 2025
William A. Albrecht, Sr., age 86, passed away on November 24, 2025
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1938, William lived a life marked by service, devotion, and integrity. He proudly served his country in the United States Army for 30 years, retiring with the distinguished rank of Command Sergeant Major. A decorated veteran, he was faithful and dedicated—both to his nation and to those he loved.
William was a member of the Thunderbolt Masonic Lodge and the American Legion Post 184, where he formed many lasting friendships and continued his commitment to service.
He is survived by his loving wife, Carla Blanks Albrecht; his son, Tony Albrecht, (Cindee); his stepdaughter, Christy Tessmer, six grandsons, three granddaughters, four great grandchildren, and one sister, Kathleen McManus of Long Island, NY.
A private graveside service will be held at a later date.

We always loved seeing Bill walk in the door. His presence always added to our little meetings! Even days he wasn't feeling the best, he was happy to be there. His love for you was so evident Carla, it was a joy to observe. We will miss him too, but so glad we all have special memories to encourage us!

Bill (The CSM) was more than a friend to me. He was my brother in arms. I will cherish the short time we spent together. I always looked forward the times we could get together. My heart aches, and I will miss him greatly. I felt at peace when we were together. Rest in Peace my brother you've earned it.
