Albright

Bill Albright, aged 82, of Hollister, California, passed away on February 17, 2025. A proud graduate of Galion High School in Ohio, Bill was known for his vibrant spirit and love for life. He played the baritone in the marching band and, shortly after graduation, married his high school sweetheart, Barbara Joyce. Bill began his professional journey at PPG in Ohio before moving to California to join his father in the construction business, Albright Construction. Together, Bill and his father, Carl, made a lasting impact on the Hollister community, building custom homes renowned for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Beyond his professional achievements, Bill was passionate about music, gardening, and golf and was a devoted fan of Ohio State and the Cleveland Browns. He enjoyed collecting stamps and coins, bowling, playing cards, and, most importantly, cherishing time spent with his family. His jovial sense of humor brought joy to those around him. Bill is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Barbara Joyce; his sisters, Carol Prater and Judy Albright; his son, Jeff Albright (Irma Cabrera-Albright); his daughter, Tanya Allgood (Scott Allgood), and his five grandchildren, Len, Christopher, Amanda (Patrick Olivares), Jessica (Josh Stroud), and Christina (Will Duncan). He also leaves behind six adorable great-grandchildren: Arya, Kiera, Emily, Peyton, Jaxon, and Jarrett. He was preceded in death by his parents, Betty and Carl Albright, and in-laws Earlene and Albert Hester. Bill, better known as Grandpa, will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be held on February 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Black-Cooper-Sander Funeral Home. Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life and legacy.
