I was most fortunate to meet Al back in 1980 when I needed shoe repair. That meeting started the longtime of sharing our Italian heritage, cooking, gardening, wine making and so many other things. He loved so many things but above all his family. The pride and love for his children and grandchildren shined forth every time he spoke of them. His smile and laughter were a joy to experience. I am most grateful and blessed that is his love, joy, laughter and great Spirit touched my life. His presence will be missed dearly but his legacy of love live on in his wife, Rita, his son, Lorenzo, his wife and children and daughter, Rose, her husband and children as well as all the family, friends and community whose lives he touched. Thank you, Al, your love is a blessing that is eternal. Rest in peace, friend.
