Albert Joseph Dincher, 72, entered into God’s loving hands surrounded by his family on July 21, 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer. Albert was born in Williamsport, PA on June 19, 1941 to Albert P. and Cecilia (Hiller) Dincher. He graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1959.

Albert and his family made El Paso, Texas their home for the last 32 years and maintained many close relationships from his hometown. He was known among visiting family and friends as the premier tour guide of the Southwest and captivating storyteller.
