Bonnie, Boys and Family,
I know Al will be dearly missed by each and every one of you, not to mention the guys who came in contact with Al at the Italian American Civic Organization of Berwyn. Al was a man of few words but when he spoke it was from the heart and guys listened; he was genuine and fair and that goodness resonates in your family. I was privileged to have worked with him on several fundraisers; and if it wasn't for his many years of dedication and volunteering the club wouldn't have flourished as it did - there will definitely be a void at Al's table at the club. I'm honored to call Al a friend and will truly miss him and hearing him ask "what's goin' on" to start our conversations. In faith I know that Al's looking upon us all smiling that he has a wonderful family and a fraternal bond with many guys who he touched that will never forget him.
I will keep you all in my prayers,
Mario

Words can't even express how important cousin Albert was to me. When my parents asked him and cousin Marlene to be my god parents he took that role very seriously. He was always there for me even if we didn't speak for a few years. He knew my family in Chicago was important to me. I feel like a part of me is now gone with Albert Jr, I will miss him terribly.
