Charles William Albright Jr died peacefully at home on July 14th 2022 surrounded by family and friends. He was born on May 7, 1952, in Lansdale PA.
Charles (Zeke) was married to Denise (Harps) for 49 wonderful years. He is survived by two sons Charles (Zeke) William Albright III (Dawn), Matthew Mark Albright (Andrea) and his Grandchildren Savannah, Lucia, Oscar and Ryder.
He was the son of the Late Charles William Sr. and Caroline Albright.
Zeke spent his childhood working at Albright garage. This cultivated his love of motorcycles with his father and then established Cycle Villa. He then pursued his education at Juniata College and earned a degree in Liberal Arts before returning to his love of motorcycles and running Cycle Villa I, II and III.
His love of motorcycles led to many exciting adventures such as cross country trips to Alaska, snowmobile trips to Yellowstone and Old Forge, New York. Other trips included many motorcycle excursions with his wife Denise and his sons. He also enjoyed riding his motorcycle everyday to work even with both of his sons on his bike to the shop.
He enjoyed many moments with his wife including Japan, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Europe, the Caribbean, Mackinac Island, and lastly many weekends at their shore home in North Wildwood.
Zeke’s other accomplishments included building his own insurance business C Albright insurance, he was the youngest worshipful master of the Shiloh (MacCalla) Lodge and he was a lifelong learner and took masters classes at Villanova University. His greatest accomplishment in life was being a loving husband, father and poppie.

So sorry to hear this. Zeke sponsored my early racing career and took a chance and hired me to work at Cycle Villa. I actually apologized to him a few years ago for all the things I screwed up at work. He was a good man and will be missed.
Zeke has been a friend ever since we met in Demolay in the mid 1960s. I began working a Albright’s Garage then Cycle Villa and our friendship grew. We enjoyed motorcycle trips to New Hampshire for the races, and midweek trips to the Jersey Shore, after we closed the shop. He was a talented businessman and a friend to all. Our thoughts and prayers are with Denny and her family. Rest In Peace my friend.
My heart goes out to you all. I live in Jacob’s Woods and used to see Zeke ride out on his motorcycle. Denise would walk the neighborhood and was such a friendly person. To hear that he passed was sad for my husband and I. He certainly had a loving family that would care for him after his illness.
Your family has my most heartfelt sympathy and condolences. Zeke was the most kind and giving gentleman! I remember being the ring barer in his wedding with Denny!
He even got me a scooter at an amazing price for my college years! Amazing beautiful kind family. You will be missed Zeke.
Continue to smile back at us from above.
I met Zeke years ago at Montgomeryville cycle center at their old location down on 309, he sold me a Yamaha venture and a Honda shadow the same day, he was quite the salesman. There was a quality in zeke that you don’t find in many people, it was honesty and humbleness. We always remained friends and always enjoyed talking to him at the cycle shop. He will be deeply missed by me and many others, but he will never be forgotten. Ride on my friend!
We started as co-workers, but soon became friends. I admired the love of his family. He had a magical quality to his nature…
I will forever carry him with me in life…
I am grateful to him and his family, for touching my life and sharing theirs with mine…
I bought my first motorcycle from Charlie, Sr, and thus got to know Zeke early on. Over the years I always found him to be friendly, pleasant, and professional, always had the time to chat and catch up on our respective families. Never heard him have a bad word about anybody – a true gentleman! The world will be a sadder place for losing him.
Rest in well-earned peace, my friend.
My Brother in Law was the most kindest man I’ve ever meant. He loved my sister with all his heart and his grandchildren. He is going to be so missed by so many friends and family. I am so blessed to have had him in our life. Love you Zeke and will always think of you.
Love Marilyn and Jim
Dear Denny:
It’s been a while since we spoke but I’d like to pass on to you my condolences and sympathies. I knew Zeke to be a very kind soul and loyal to you. I know he will be missed.
