Life Reflections

"Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid, these are the words of assurance that the Lord has said. Let Him be your comfort, let Him be your friend, let Him walk beside you from beginning to end."

On Thursday, March 20, 2025, Mr. Albert Earl Stancil, age 73, departed this earthly life at JFK University Medical Center, Edison, New Jersey.

Albert, a son of the late Elouise Ludd and Rual Stancil, Sr. was born on January 29, 1952 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

He attended the public schools of Williamsburg County, and graduated from Kingstree Senior High, Class of 1971.

After graduating, Albert moved to New York. Years later, he relocated to Linden, New Jersey, where he met and married the "love of his life", Barbara Dean. They were married for 47 years, until Barbara's death on October 13, 2024. To this union, a daughter was born, Althea. He was a loving father to three stepchildren, Monica, Vernon and Keith; four grandchildren, eight great grandchildren and one great-great granddaughter.

Albert was a long distance truck driver, which he enjoyed doing for over 30 years. In his free time, he enjoyed DIY (DO IT YOURSELF) projects around his home, spending time with family and friends and BBQING.
