PICALLO, Albert Maseda "Al" The family of Albert Maseda Picallo mourns the loss of this great man. Born September 14, 1935, Al left this world February 14, 2021 to be joyfully reunited with his mother, Carmen and his daughter, Marisa. You may have known him by Al, Pic, Big Al, Albert or Albertico, but however you knew him, you were probably touched by his time with you. He was a generous, loving, gentle soul packed with enough talent to achieve success in many fields. A painter, sculptor, photographer, architect, athlete and musician. A father, son, friend, teacher, mentor, traveler, lover and Rocker. A true Renaissance man who made the world a better place. Al is survived by his son, Albert Russell; his daughter-in-law, Kellie; and his two grandchildren, Isabella and Harrison. Al is gone, but will never be forgotten. The family wants to say a special thank you to Al's devoted and selfless cousin, Marlene Maseda Lee, who's love and support gave Al, and all of us, such comfort these past few years. A virtual memorial service will be held Wednesday, February 24, 2021 at 6 pm. For information about the service or to send thoughts, prayers or memories, email: al.picallo.memorial@gmail.com
