Albee was born in Savannah, GA to Paul Clark, Sr. and Melva Clark. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, William Ronald Clark.

Albee grew up on Tybee Island and Whitemarsh Island. He was a member of Victor B. Jenkins Boys Club of America, a long-time volunteer and supporter of Oatland Island Wildlife Center. In 1980, he joined his dad on the F/V Kathy Dean as a crew until 1993, when his father retired and he became its Captain. He kept the boat until 2001, when he dropped his anchor and became a pre-loader, then shifter at UPS. He celebrated 20 years with UPS in July.
