  James D. Albert MARIETTA James ''Jim'' David Albert passed away on Monday, 
  February 22, 2010, at the Essa Flory Hospice Center in Lancaster, following a 
  long, courageous battle with renal cell carcinoma. Born May 1, 1964, in 
  Williamsport, he was the son of Paul S. and Alice (Horne) Albert of Myerstown. 
  He is survived by his wife, Barbara (Grim) Albert of Marietta; and his 
  daughter, Alyssa and her husband, Charlie Licatese of York. He was a 1982 
  graduate of Eastern Lebanon County High School in Myerstown, where he was 
  involved with a District Championship Basketball team and played on a PA second 
  place soccer championship team. Following high school, he attended Shippensburg 
  University and later, Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, where he graduated in 
  1987 and received his BA in Journalism and English. In college he also received 
  several awards for his writing skills. Upon graduation from college, he went to 
  work for the Northeast Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer in Philadelphia, and 
  later the Lebanon Daily News, the Harrisburg Patriot, and York Daily Record. 
  Later he chose to take a different career path and became interested in graphic 
  design and the printing industry, working for ACS in Harrisburg, Strine 
  Printing in York, and Zero Restriction Golf Outerwear in Hallam. His desire was 
  to have his own graphic design business. In July 2005 he decided to open Albert 
  Design Studio from his home in Marietta. Due to his illness his was unable to 
  continue with his business. He is also survived by his sister, Karen, her 
  husband, Jamie McFadden, and their daughter, Heather; his godchild of

  of Dillsburg; his in-laws, Bill and Susan Grim of Red Lion; his brother-inlaw, 
  James Grim, his wife, Becky, and daughters, Jade, Shae, and Breana of 
  Wrightsville; and his sisterin-law, Debra Hoke, her husband, Jay, and their 
  son, Ellis of York. Other survivors include several uncles, aunts, and cousins. 
  Jim had many passions - his love for his family and friends, his creativity, 
  his writings, his music, photography, cooking, the beach, and drawing cartoons 
  and caricatures. He won awards for his drawing ability, including a PA Gold Key 
  award. His thought provoking blog, Enjoy Every Sandwich, has inspired many 
  people. It spoke of his journey with cancer and the positive outlook that he 
  had. The way he led his life changed many and he will never be forgotten. The 
  memorial services will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2010, at 11 a.m. at 
  Friedens Lutheran Church, 301 W. Washington Ave., Myerstown, with visitation to 
  follow at the church. Donations in Jim's memory can be made to Hoops for St. 
  Jude, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105. The John W. Keffer Funeral 
  Homes and Crematory Inc, York, is in charge of the arrangements.
