Albert Hines is the father of seven biological children and three adopted children. He performed active duty in the United States Navy. He served in the Korean War. Albert worked for the City of Bakersfield and some years later obtained a job with the U.S. Post Office.

Albert, along with his wife Armentha, trained all of their children how to work and each child had employment around fourteen years of age.
