It seems that our most early childhood memories stay with us all of our lives. The most vivid memories about my Uncle Al started when I was 5 years old (that was in 1966) when my family would take vacations with the Meglic family down the shore in Wildwood, NJ. I remember eating the crumb cakes for breakfast, with that smell of Aunt Charlotte's coffee brewing in the kitchen. Uncle Al would hang out on the porch, watching the tennis players across the street. One day I happened to get lost on that massive Wildwood beach. All of the beach umbrellas looked the same, and I couldn't find Uncle Al or my Mom or Dad. I was picked up by the beach patrol and they took me to the place where the "lost" kids were stored until their parents came to pick them up. Well, about 1 hour later (seemed longer than that), I see Uncle Al trodding through the sand. I stand up and scream, "That's my Uncle Al"...he rescued me...and brought me back.

I also loved going to Uncle Al's for holiday parties and birthdays! He had the best finished basement around! He had a cool bar, that he let me sit at and drink soda and eat peanuts. He also had the BEST electronic shuffle-board bowling game! That was one of the best games around in the late 60's, early 70's.

To this day, every time I hear Nat King Cole or Mitch Miller songs on the radio, I think of Uncle Al's place. He always was playing those songs back then. Over the years, with families of our own, we never really got to see Uncle Al that much. I would see him occasionally at the Xmas parties and other family gatherings.

I will miss him at the scat card games, but will always remember his hearty laugh and his sense of humor.

I'm sure the next time I hear that song "Those Lazy, Crazy, Days of Summer", he will be remembered....always.

Our most-heart felt condolences go out to Aunt Charlotte, Debbie, Dana and Denise and the rest of your family.

Our tribute to our brother-in-law, Albert Meglic.

He may have been known as "The General", but he truly was the king of hospitality. He opened his home to anyone and everyone and he presided there with pride. He always offered the best. His love of family was his priority. He embraced close friends into that family circle.

Albert was witty. His ideas and quick responses made a person laugh and sometimes angered you at the same time. He always offered his opinion and stood by it regardless of what others thought. Albert thought himself an expert on fashion, home decor, politics, mechanics, food and many other things. He certainly knew how to pick a wife! We know he got the best!

Albert had an "eye" for the unusual and his home speaks volumes of the many items that he brought home to add to his collection. Almost like your collectibles, Albert, you were one in a million, we will never meet anyone quite like you!

Wayne and I will truly miss him. Albert and Charlotte became active in our lives again after I retired. We traveled around together, went out to eat, to the movies on short trips and spent months with them in Florida. Albert helped us with projects around the house and gave Wayne his "expert" advice. He'd make you so darn angry, but, you gotta love him!

Albert and Charlotte loved people. We seldom went anywhere that we didn't meet someone that Al and Charlotte knew. If they met someone new they soon knew them. Albert could remember people and often their names as well for years after meeting them for the first time.

We will never forget the response from family and friends who came to celebrate Albert's life on Thursday, January 22, 2004 at St. Bernard's Church and those that traveled to Northampton Memorial Shrine for his interment. This was not only a tribute to Albert Michael Meglic, but to his devoted wife, Charlotte, and loving daughters, Debra, Dana and Denise.

Albert accomplished all that any man would ever want; to gain the respect and love of others for his family.

Patricia and Wayne Melberger
