I remember when he moved into the assisted living room i worked at. He was so a joy to be around. Always made me laugh and shared his knowledge with me. He said such a compassion for music and shared his memories with me. I had the honor to care for him as a resident aide. Sad to hear of his passing as i was thinking about him today and wondering how he was doing ( i moved away) . My condolences to his daughter who he loved very much.

Last time I saw Al he was in Hamtramck Michigan. I took my daughter to the concert. Stayed after to say hi to Al and have a beer with him. Great guy! We lost a legend. God bless!

Al Rappa made a fantastic contribution to the Rock and Roll generation. That music started many many other types of music to emerge. To the family so sorry for your loss. There must be so many good memories and lots of fun stories. Be comforted by the many prayers that go up in your behalf.
