==After 1986==
Not much was known about Albert after 1988 until his death in 2002. It was in 1986 where he had her first romantic relationship with Lindsay Sosbe. Albert and Lindsay had a good relationship that spanned 13 years until ending in 1999. 
==Relationships==
*Ava Zinn: Albert's relationship with Ava (then known as Frank) appeared to have been strained. Albert appeared to have rarely held his tongue when speaking down to Ava toward anything Margaret thought Ava was 'failing' at and would usually refer to Ava as a quitter if she ever failed to meet Margaret's expectations. Even with Ava as an adult, Albert often tormented Ava by annoying the family, and generally doing whatever he wishes without concern towards the situation of others. Despite this, Albert was well aware that Ava is the person she can turn to for help when he needs it most and never hesitated to called Ava "My Brother". While he was mildly harsh toward Ava compared to Margaret, Albert has proved that she did care about her and helped Ava when she needed it, mostly in secret.
*Margaret Zinn: Albert's relationship with Margaret was good in a stark contrast to Ava since Albert was the oldest and Ava was the youngest. Margaret appears to have moderately held her tongue when speaking down to Albert and/or Ava toward anything Margaret thought Albert or Ava were 'failing' at and, unlike Ava, would usually encourage Albert to try harder if he ever failed to meet Margaret's expectations. Even with Albert and Ava as adults, Margaret often tormented Ava more than Albert by annoying the family, and generally doing whatever she wishes without concern towards the situation of others. Despite this, Margaret was well aware that Albert and AVa were the persons she can turn to for help when she needs it most and never hesitated to called Albert "My Oldest Boy" and Ava "My Baby Boy". While she was usually harsher toward Ava compared to Albert, Margaret has proved that she did care about her and helped Albert and Ava when they needed it, mostly in secret.
*Weasel, Leeanna, Shayla, and Renee Zinn: Interestingly enough, Albert had a good relationship with his children Weasel, Shayla, Leeanna, and Renee, likely due to their outgoing nature as opposed to the reserved attitude. It could be assumed that he legitimately thought the world of Weasel, Leeanna, Shayla, and Renee. Margaret once conceded that Ava was a better parent than herself over Albert and stated to Albert "You made four children with one woman while Ava made four with two women" and to Ava "You made Sammi, Thom, Tim, and Sheryl. I only made you and Albert." Weasel eventually followed in Albert's footsteps in becoming an automobile mechanic in Muncie and later Fort Wayne while Leeanna moved to Iowa, Shayla moved to Alabama, and Renee moved to California.
