He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Sandra (Horner) Cahill; his children Jimmy (Lissette) Cahill, Theresa Cahill, Tammy (Andrew) Pier, Tracy Cahill, Jackie (Michael) Gregory, and Tanya (Richard) Hunter; as well as his brother Gilbert (Marilyn) Cahill, his sister Dorothy (Carlos) Torres, and his sister-in-law Doris Cahill. Albert was also the loving grandfather to nineteen grandchildren; great grandfather of two great grandchildren, and a beloved uncle to several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Albert and Ida Cahill, his brother Charles Cahill, his brother Richard, and sisters Blanch, Helen, and Eleanor.
Albert enjoyed riding his bicycle around town, collecting commemorative U.S. coins, and trying to master the Pac-Man video game. He kept up on the local police and fire departments by listening to his scanner on a daily basis. But most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family.
