Robert L "Bucky" Albright, 78, of Copake passed away peacefully on April 15, 2021 at Columbia Memorial Hospital.  He was born in Great Barrington, MA on December 30, 1942 to the late Harold and Mildred (Rogers) Albright.  Bucky worked as a heavy equipment operator for the Columbia County Highway Department for many years until his retirement.  In retirement, he managed to always keep busy by doing landscaping and caring for lawns.
