Albert’s passion for upholstery knew no bounds, and even into his 90s, he continued to work diligently for New England Design. His dedication and expertise were remarkable, and he took great pride in his son’s accomplishments in the industry. We honor and cherish his legacy, as his influence and love for upholstery continue to inspire us every day.
