Ali Bashiri Obituary
Al Bashiri, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on June 2, 2024, his 71st birthday. Born in 1953 in Tehran, Iran, Al achieved many accomplishments throughout his life.

We have known Al and his wife since they Opened Altobeli´s. Our son worked for him when he was in high school, we ate there regularly and did there printing for many years.
His wife called me "Mr Speedy " and I called her "Mrs Altobeli´".
We thought the word of them both and were shocked and sad when they sold the restaurant.
We just learned of Al´s passing a few days ago and are sorry we missed the service.
We just hope that he didn´t suffer too much. He was a good man.(

I did not know Ali personally, but am a member of the Roswell Adult soccer community and know through this group how well he was loved and respected. My condolences to his family and those that called him friend.
