I have met and known so many people in my lifetime, but not a single solitary one better in any way than Al Vespucci. I will always keep the cherished memories of the days and years I have enjoyed being with Al. To call him my friend has been a true blessing. I know our Heavenly Father welcomes and embraces Al into his eternal kingdom.
To Allen’s family, we offer Our deepest condolences. Al was one of Our best friends since high school and we are going to miss him. Until we meet again my Hemi brother, Rest in peace
Memories of Alyn go back to his late teen years and his assistance with many things automotive. Most of the stories are down right funny. Contact was lost as he moved to Rochester and matured. I will remember Alyn well.
To Vicki, Rachael and the family,
Al was a good friend to many of us that met he and Vicki through the Northeast Hemi Owner’s Association family. I personally considered them to be much more than just good friends. He was a great guy. I will miss him. May he rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to the Vespucci family. Long time great friend for over 40 years. My mentor to the Mopar community. He will be greatly missed.
I first met Al in 1974 at Alfred State College in Wellsville. We spent four weeks road-tripping to the west coast and back in his 1967 Plymouth, you really get to know a person after traveling 4,000 miles together. I’m here to say he was one of the great ones. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Godspeed Mr. Hemi
Dear Vicki and Rachel, I am so sorry to hear of Al’s passing. He was so kind to me all those years ago when he helped me out with the purchase of my car. You know how it can be when a woman goes in to buy a car. I felt most comfortable having him there. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate this journey.
Alyn was my supervisor at Kodak in the early 2000’s. Alyn was a tremendous leader for our group. Alyn will be missed, my prayers for Alyn my you rest in peace. Vicki and Rachel my prayers to you and the entire family.

Alyn was my supervisor at Kodak. He provided encouragement and leadership to whatever you wanted to do or project you pursued. He always had my greatest respect. Condolences to his family. It was always very obvious his family meant the world to him. God Bless
