Albert Energy was named in honor of Albert
G. Howard,
son, brother, husband, father, sailor,
minister. |

There are many Alberts out there including famous
Alberts (Albert Einstein, Albert Schweitzer),
infamous Alberts (Albert DeSalvo, Albert Fish),
royal Alberts (Prince Albert, Albert the Bear), and
Alberts who sing the blues (Albert Collins, Albert
King).
But the Albert of Albert Energy is Albert G. Howard.
Not Sir Albert Howard (1873-1947) the British
botanist often referred to as “the father of modern
organic agriculture,” but Albert G. Howard
(1933-1973), the father of Kim Howard and Pam Howard
Copeland, founding co-partner of Albert Energy. |
|
Pam’s dad, Albert Gerald Howard, served in the
United States Navy as a Chief Petty Officer and a
Seabee. He served in Viet Nam in 1969 as a heavy
equipment operator building roads and runways. After
he retired from the U.S. Navy in 1971, he was
ordained as a Baptist minister. He died at the early
age of 39 from a heart condition. Pam’s fondest
memories of her father include his love of Ham radio
and his unconditional love as a father.
It is to honor this man that Albert Energy is so
named.
