To the Pag Family I am so sorry to hear about Al. I haven't been in touch with the old Allston Brighton crowd for a long time. I would have been there had I known. I know how much Al was loved by so many people. I have many fond memories of when we were all young and carefree. I choose to remember the good old days of my house, my cellar, the pag's house and all the card games we played plus the nights at the Bus Stop Pub. Al will be in my heart and prayers along with my brother and mom. My deepest sympathy to Anthony, Corine and Mrs. Pag

Babe: I will miss you so much words can not explain. I wish I was allowed to be there with you to say good bye to give you a hug and to give you a kiss. I will always remember every minute we spent together from going to the track to just sitting home and watching a movie. Please know that you will always be in my heart and I will never forget you. I love you Babe.....

Today I am given the honor, to say a few brief words of tribute….For my friend Al. For the person he was, And for the hopefully the way he should be remembered.
I am finding this very difficult do, difficult because,
No one, and I mean no one, could sum up Al’s life in few brief words.
As Bob, Bo, Ed, Joe and I sat around In the hospital the other night, many a story of our good times began to flow.
It seemed as if we were away on a golfing trip, sharing a few light moments, Al still with us laughing at our many misfortunes.
As we told these stories, a few brief words became clear.
Words to describe just who AL was and words I think Al would want us to remember him by.
The word Determined
As always when we got together the discussion began with one of our favorite stories. A story lovingly known to us
as “Al’s famous jump of desperation.” This was no ordinary jump; it was nearly ten feet long, taking off from a moving boat and attempting to land nearby on a rickety old wooded dock. And as you can probably imagine, this jump didn’t end well. It ended with not only Al, but Joey G as well, splashing away in the Boston Harbor. Al was determined he could make that jump, and no one absolutely no one, was going to tell him otherwise.
In fact many years later, still determined he could make it,
and out to prove to all of us that he could, Al, reenacted this jump. One night while on Cape Cod for a golf weekend
Al carefully measured the distance, took off running, and once again jumped as far as he was able.
Much to our astonishment and luckily for Al I might add
this re-enacted jump occurred in the middle of the restaurant where we had stopped in to grab a bite to eat.
It should be noted …He made the jump.
The word Giving
Al loved to spend money, especially when it was with someone else’s. A round of drinks at the bar, an extra appetizer with dinner, the most expensive entrée on the menu, Al always went out of his way to make sure everyone got what Al felt they needed.
One year at Christmas Sandy sent Al out with a list of names of the persons she wanted to send cards to.
Simple directions…Go Buy Cards. Several hours later
Al returned…not only with the cards but with gifts for each person on the list. “Its Christmas…You gotta give gifts” he said. Of course this was not Al’s mistake; but instead it was Sandy’s. After all…She gave him her credit card.
Al Loved Christmas, He loved to give gifts.
He truly believed the mantra “It’s better to give than to receive.” Most grown men that I know feel little uncomfortable exchanging gifts especially at Christmas, not Al. For the past……10-15 years each of us in our gang, at Christmas, Would receive from Al a dozen golf balls. A simple jester; a token of his friendship and never, and I mean never, receiving anything in return. Today, as we said our goodbye Al got his golf balls back.
The word Thoughtful
Not a Christmas past, nor a special event occurred without recognition from Al. He always kept his family and friends
Near to his heart. Whether it was a christening, birthday, or a graduation Al always made it point to share our joyous occasions.
As years went by and our group began to drift apart, Al was always putting together a B-B-Q or a card game to bring us back together. As usual, in pure Al fashion these events were always planned at someone else’s house and with someone else providing the food.
Determined
Thoughtful
Giving
Three brief words to describe our friend Al. Although the stories I told to describe these words were comical and light in nature, as Al would have wanted, those of us who knew Al best, knew the serious side to these words as well.
Determined
From the day he was born, Al was determined to beat the odds. The little boy that wasn’t supposed to; accomplished great things. He played High School basketball,
When they told him he couldn’t. Attended and Graduated College and Law School, when they told him he shouldn’t.
He lived for 45 years, when they told him he wouldn’t.
Thoughtful
When you ever found yourself down in the dumps, He would be the first one to ask “How’s it Going.” If ever you ever needed a little help, Al would always show up…usually Ritchie he’d be towing. If you ever in need of a little advise, and even when you weren’t, Al was always there to listen, tell you what he truly thought and at the drop of a hat, do what ever need to be done, without ever once thinking about himself.
Giving
Al was the type of person that was always giving.
He gave kindness to everyone he ever met. He gave energy and enthusiasm to the political campaign of his choice
He gave caring and compassion and unwavering loyalty to his friends, and He gave all his love to his family.
Natalie, Matthew, Lisa and Dennis, and Kelly
Al adored you! Corrine and Anthony…He loved you more than he loved himself, and always wanted nothing but the best for each of you!
Sandy
There are not enough words to describe his love for you!
In closing, Please allow me to be so bold and on the behalf of everyone here today say thank you! Thank you for sharing your Al with us. I will cherish the memory
That Al thought of me as his friend. As will everyone here with us today
It is his memory…That will be his final gift to us all.
