Full Obituary
Albert K. Csaszar A Very Special Person Albert was a wonderful husband, great father, awesome grandfather, thoughtful brother, loving son, and generous friend.
From humble beginnings, as a faithful catholic Hungarian farm boy, Albert courageously made the best of life's challenges and opportunities to create a successful and adventurous life overflowing with exceptional accomplishments and joyfully shared celebrations.
Through his hard work and "just do it" attitude, he achieved success in many measures and generously shared his life and good fortune with his family, relatives in Hungary, friends, and colleagues in Arabia and beyond.
With a fearless heart and the highest levels of accomplishment, he poured himself into challenges great and small: - From being kicked out of a religious school by disapproving communists to representing Hungary as an exchange student in Romania. - Escaping from Hungary during the uprising in 1956 to establishing a family and life in the United States. - While learning English furthering his credentials with an advanced Petroleum Engineering degree from Penn State. - Always seeking opportunities to enhance his life and career, he moved to Saudi Arabia, once again going to the unknown with a young family. After 25 wonderful years with Aramco in Saudi Arabia, he and Magda retired to Austin, TX.
He is remembered for his love of people, love for his family and generously sharing his life with others. He expressed this through his actions by being inclusive, always thinking of others through sharing his home, himself, his family and in his own unique way letting everyone know how special they were to him.
We let him go with lots of love to be with God, always remaining in our hearts and minds. The Csaszar family thanks you for joining us in our celebration of his life, as well as your thoughts and prayers.
