With profound regret the Engelhardt family announces the death of their beloved husband, father and grandfather.

He then lectured at Texas Tech University and ran a small business in Lubbock, Texas.
In addition to his scientific ability, Albert had a solid background in Hebrew, Latin and Greek and spoke fluent French.
