Born and raised in South Brooklyn, Al relocated his family to Staten Island in 1991 and has been a resident of New Dorp since.
While Al had a degree in Aerospace Engineering, he spent his working years delivering bread, loving the freedom and socialization the position afforded him. After retiring, he spent his time as the main caregiver to his first granddaughter, Sadie and his free time was spent traveling with his wife of 49 years, Paula.
Al was predeceased by his son Alphonse Lombardo, Jr. He is survived by his loving wife Paula, their daughters Carmela Marie Mendelsohn (spouse Jason) and Desiree Rose Caruso ( spouse Christopher), his granddaughters Sadie Rose, Alexandra Marie and his bonus grandchildren Austin, Emily and Molly. He is also survived by his sister Catherine Light and her two children Angelo and Jennifer.
He will be missed greatly, but not forgotten.
