Albert was named "Chun" due to his sister Kate mispronouncing his name. When he was older and when Kate was born, Simon would call Albert his "son". But Kate couldn't say "son" so she said "chun".
Chun was a hard working man. He loved to garden. He had 9 acres next to Simon Falcon. He would make a garden 50 feet wide with no tractor, just a shovel and hoe. He would drive sticks in the ground with strings to line up his plants in his garden. He kept a neat garden with no weeds. He would sleep late and get up and use a jug of water in the summer around 10 am, water the garden and would go home around 5pm. He would plant tomatoes and corn. He hated birds and wouldn't let any birds near his garden. He would shoot the birds, no matter what type. He would collect the birds and when there was enough, Onita would make a 'bird jambalaya'. Occasionally, he would work so hard he would pass out. When he awoke, he would continue on working. He loved to raise garlic. He would bring garlic to his co-workers and they nick named him "Al the Garlic Man" or "Aly-Garly" (Oly-Golly).
