Al enlisted in the Navy in 1962. In 1967 he started his career working on the railroad. Al had an extreme passion for the railroad. Working on Metro-North was a job he truly loved.

His family would like to thank Dr. Mark Marieb and staff, especially Natalie. Always eternally grateful to Dr. Marieb & Natalie for helping prolong his life over these past 23 years so that he could see his “four little men” grow up.

A special thank you to the staff (aka: earth angels) of Hartford Healthcare Hospice Home Care and Midstate Medical Hospice in Meriden for providing such comforting care during his final days. His girls ask in memory of their dad to watch an episode of How it’s Made.

“Always good to learn something new.” – A.J. Badamo
