Resident of the Month

Albert Fox

Albert, a resident with a heart as big as Texas, takes center stage this month! Born and raised on a family farm in O’Brien, Albert met his sweetheart, Evelyn, in a truly Texan way – their mothers were friends! After a long-distance college romance, they married and built a life together, raising two daughters.
Albert’s career at Texas Instruments saw him help open plants in both Austin and Tennessee. But it’s his adventurous spirit that truly shines. He and Evelyn traveled extensively in their RV, with Evelyn even teaching computer science virtually to soldiers overseas!
Now a cherished member of The Oscar community, Albert is known for his outgoing personality and infectious enthusiasm. He actively participates in activities, readily connects with fellow residents, and embodies the spirit of our vibrant community.
Albert inspires everyone around him. His advice? “Don’t be afraid of change, keep learning, keep growing!” We are incredibly excited to have Albert as our Resident of the Month. His positive spirit and love for life are a true inspiration to us all!
