After his retirement in 2003 from the USPS, he built his home in Edinburgh, PA. While living in Edinburgh, he was the Mahoning Township Planning Commission Chairman. Albert had a great love for animals and enjoyed antiquing, cooking, fishing, playing cards, woodworking and carving various pieces from wood.
Shortly after marrying in 2013, Al and his wife Lee moved to Summerfield Florida to continue a warm and sunny retirement life. He grew big bountiful vegetable gardens and gorgeous flower gardens in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. He enjoyed playing golf, shuffleboard, and bocce. He was also very proud of his green thumb and Italian heritage. His family and friends will always remember his bright smile, laugh, and love for life.
