Donald S. Albert, 63, of Waynesburg, died 6:20 p.m. Sunday, June 24, 2018, in his home.

He was born Saturday, February 12, 1955, in Waynesburg, a son of the late Edward Albert and Rose Bartolovich Albert of Washington.

Mr. Albert was a member of St. Ann Roman Catholic Church in Waynesburg. Mr. Albert was a 1973 graduate of Central Greene High School, where he not only served as president of his class but was a multisport standout in football and track.

After high school, he received an appointment to West Point but chose to accept an offer from Slippery Rock College to continue playing football. He transferred a year later to Waynesburg College, where he played 3 years with his younger brother, Bob, on the same team. At Waynesburg College, as in high school, he was highly decorated for his achievements with both state and national awards. While off the field, his training regiment and leadership inspired others in their own pursuit of excellence. He was a mentor and a great leader.

He loved to play golf and enjoyed the farm. He began working with his father at Albert’s Restaurant in Waynesburg, where he spent most of his working life. He later worked as manager of Rohanna’s Restaurant in Waynesburg and then worked for 13 years in sales at Bortz Chevrolet in Waynesburg.
