Frank Thomas Albert

Frank Thomas Albert, 76, of Troy died Monday, Feb. 1, 2021, at his home, after battling cancer for the last 2-3 years. Mr. Albert was born May 9, 1944, in Worland, Wyo. He was the son of Raymond Edward Albert and Lillian Josie (Stewart) Albert.
Upon graduation from high school, because of his family upbringing and jobs, he learned the value of hard work and responsibilities, which guided him throughout his life, starting with his first job working on a large cattle ranch.
He served in the United States Army during the Vietnam conflict, for which he received three medals for his service. Upon discharge from the Army, he started working in the oilfield on oil rigs, following a successful climb on the career ladder becoming an oil executive managing the Asia, Middle East and Africa regions. This afforded him the opportunity to travel the world, living in many countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
One of his passions was motorcycles. He and his wife, Moria, took many road trips by motorcycle across Europe and Asia. He retired to Meeteetse, Wyo., where he was able to enjoy one of his great loves, the outdoors. He took pleasure in hunting, fishing, camping and reunions with family and friends. He finally moved to Troy, where he led a quiet existence after an adventure-filled life.
He is survived by his wife, Moria (Gauld) Albert, whom he married on Nov. 12, 1973; and his sister, Ida Larue Brooks of Cody, Wyo. He is also survived by his three children, Steven Black, Rhonda Black Aldred and Graham Black; five grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Char-la Case, Gayla Biwer and Anita Pape; and brother, Gary Albert.
A private service and viewing was  held at White-Ranson Funeral Home in Union City at 12:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5, 2021.
His burial will take place at Riverview Memorial Gardens in Worland, Wyo. at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021, with Pastor John Burns of CrossPoint Baptist Church officiating. It is open to all family and friends.
