A man of impeccable dress and commanding nature he was the Don of the family just as this photograph depicts. He was loved and respected by family and a wide cross section of the city of Chicago.

Big Al took very good care of Victoria, his wife. She was the apple of his eye. Together at social gatherings, balls, operettas, charity events. Inseparable. It's been hard for Aunt Victoria, since Al passed away. Somehow she manages a smile.

In every way, Al's family continues to be a big part of Aunt Victoria's life. Warmth and compassion, Al would have wanted it that way.

Al, you were in a class of your own.
