June and Family: Joe and I just heard today of Al's passing. We are sooooo very sorry for your loss. Al was the only one of my brothers' friends I called "Uncle Al." He was always very good to me when I was little and I have fond memories of him and our life growing up in the Brickyard. He used to spend time at Bacci's with Albert and my father who would cook for them. It was a special time for all. Please know we are praying for Al and all of you at this difficult time. With much Love, Dotty Basile and Joe Giguere

Dear June so sorry to read about Al's passing. My deepest sympathy for you and your beautiful family. ❤️Sorry I couldn't come having problems with my eyes but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love always Judy. Brian is on vacation And sends his condolences.

My sincerest condolences to June, Mike, Albert, Katie and the grandchildren. Thinking of my cousin Al, I'll always cherish memories of growing up together in the 1950's and 60's in the Brickyard ! Growing up West Lynn surrounded by all my Serino cousins, aunts and uncles was a blessing. Al was my handsome older cousin and very close with brother Bob and my other male cousins. I always looked up to Al. My cousins Dolores, Dianne and Judy were the sisters I never had. Living in the same 3 decker house with the Giello's and having most all my aunts and uncles together on Shephard Street was pretty wonderful, We were surrounded by extended loving family and were rich in our family traditions and values. Every holiday was spent together and our mothers did all the cooking and preparations. Dinner for 35 was the norm. We lacked material "things" but were so rich in family values and friendships. St. Francis Church was a big part of our lives and our faith. Al devoted his life to his wife and family and was so proud of all of them. I pray your sadness today is replaced by loving memories of your husband, father and Papa. May he rest in God's heavenly peace ✝️ Love, Barbara (Beebe) Fortunato

Al was a friend of mine growing up in the "Brickyards". We both attended Lynn Trade High school and worked @ GE in Lynn for over 38 years. He was a leader of the pact. He always knew what, who & where, whenever there was a question about our neighborhood, Al would know the answer. I will always remember playing Morra on Saturday mornings at Army's 50 club, jumping off of Lampers wharf & stealing cherries off of old Mr. Browns tree. Alley street will remain with those of us that knew it. I will miss him dearly. B.R
