Albert is survived by his son, Pastor Warren Wargo, and his wife Deborah; grandchildren, Joshua Wargo, and wife, Sarah, Abigail Cunningham, and husband, Eric, Esther Jean, and husband, Josh; along with his “pride and joy” eight great grandchildren, Emmalyn, Silas, Mabel, Henry, Elizabeth, Cora, Eden, and Asher; Al has two sisters, Olga Petrucci, of Palm Beach, Florida, and Elinora Kolibabek, of Yonkers, New York; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

The Family will receive friends for a time of lunch and visitation on Sunday, September 9, 2018 at Lamar Baptist Church in Beaumont, Texas at noon.  A Memorial Service honoring his life will be at 1:30pm in the Lamar Baptist Church Sanctuary.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be sent to the Lamar Baptist Church designated for the Children’s Ministry because “GRANDPA” loved, and was loved, by all the children.

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
