My dad. My hero.

You will always have a special place in my heart. I will cherish the memories we shared now and forever. You will be missed by all who knew.
All my condolences to the family. I have so many great memories of Sonny and Patsy growing up in NYC with Aunt Joan and Lizzie. Prayers to all of them
My beloved father…the kindest man you will ever meet. Even though my heart is broken, I can face each day peacefully knowing you and mom are together again. Love you dad, always and forever.
Al,
I always looked forward to when you would stop by the shop for a conversation. I would sit there and just listen. I always appreciated your opinions. Thank you for always sharing your experiences. Much appreciated. RIP Al.

We are very sorry for your loss. I remember seeing your dad at St. Anthony’s church. He was a very nice man. I grew up going to St. Anthony’s church and he was always attending mass. May his soul rest in peace.✝️ We will keep him in our prayers.
Rest peacefully, Sonny.
You are loved and will be missed by many.

Dear Al
I will miss our annual meetings. It was always a pleasure to see and speak with you. You are a wonderful person with an exceptional soul. God Bless you. You must be happy to rejoin with Pat.
The Frangione Family – My deepest sympathy goes out to you. You were blessed with such wonderful parents.
I’m so sorry to hear…he was such a great guy! He was my ShopRite customer but became a friend who adored the Mets like me.
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Al’s passing. I remember visiting with your family in the early 70’s. Your dad was so sweet to drive us all around NYC and show us the sights! It was a trip I will always think of fondly. I remember him showing us how to place a penny on the railroad tracks to have it flattened! I loved both your parents and their sense of humor, kindness and love they showed towards our family. I was so grateful they both came to my mom’s funeral in 2018. Al is probably joking around with Mike G. about their days together in the Army (where they met!)
Keep your memories in your heart. Wishing you all peace at this difficult time.
