I worked in the Good News Foundation office for only a few days several years ago, but I've never met a more charitable, kinder man than Albert Wallace Jr. His passing will be a distinct loss to the community. My sincere condolences to his family.

It is very saddening to hear about Albert. Always called him Albert simply because he commanded respect. Never met a more selfless person whose main reason for getting up each day was to help others personally with sacrifice and hard work. Lamentably due to prior commitment, we are unable to attend the service, but will continue to treasure our friendship always. We even got married within a couple of months of each other. "Chicken Man" is a much more widely known nickname in Colorado Springs than anyone else I've ever heard of in the last 36 years. Good News was a superb idea, effort and accomplishment. Very, very well done, Albert, the Lord's good and faithful servant!
