My heart goes out to all of Al’s family. Al was a fantastic man , and a joy to be around. I especially enjoyed his company when we would talk about the business world. Al would also give me an education on the finer points of enjoying wine, while we solved the world’s problems. Al was always good for a laugh and a smile and uplifted any room he entered. You will be missed my friend,
Thank you dear nephew, Marty for your kind words and inspiration about my dear Husband, Albert. He was my Rock and my Knight, and we shared so much of the simplicity and wonderfulness of life. He watched over me with loving eyes. I think the Petracca family really grew on him, and he appreciated the caring and love bestowed to him.
Rob & Karen ,sorry for your loss. May fond memories warm your hearts.
I am so sorry about the loss of Albert. He was a wonderful man to my Aunt Gemma, and cousins Gina and Lena and to my family as well. I enjoyed his company very much and we bonded over our love of coffee and fine wine. I loved hearing his stories about the places he traveled, and his life experiences. I could always count on Albert to give me sound financial advice and he was always so great at explaining things going on in the world that I didn’t understand. He will be missed so much and family outings and functions will not be the same without him. We all have our beautiful memories of Albert to bring us peace and comfort during this time. My Deepest condolences to Gemma, Gina, Lena, And Alberts family.
Thank you, my dear cousin, for your kind words.
We are sorry about the loss of Al. What a wonderful husband, stepfather and grandfather he was to Gemma, Gina and Lena. My husband David and I were truly grateful to Al for making the perfect cup cake display for our wedding. We will never forget how he made our special day!
Our thoughts and prayers are with Gemma, Gina & Ozzy, Lena and all of Al’s family.
Thank you so much for these kind words, my dear friend.
Big losses are difficult, but they also bring family and friends together. It is hard to go through this loss, but we also are reminded of his role as a husband, father, grandfather, brother-in-law, and friend and how he took each role to heart and “ran with the ball.” I am touched by his family -both on the Petracca side and the Spaces side and the love that pours out of them. Thank you, dear families for showing your softer side and the sorrow that you feel. My prayers are with you all!
Dearest Sister, You said it so exactly. Your continuous support to Gina, Lena, Ozzy and myself has been very helpful during this time in our lives. I will be forever grateful. Love, Gemma
Best wishes to Al’s family from the Mobil R.O.M.E.O.’s
Haven’t seen Al in a number of years but remember the good
associations during the project times and travel with Central Engineering.
