What a Great Man! Often mentioning Al when Teaching. This or that story, this anecdote. How to play Petrushka and Hummel. Laughing over some mistake..... How to behave and present yourself successfully at Auditions. Al taught it ALL! Never forgetting the great one! Victor E. Burguess.

I am deeply sorry to learn of Al's passing last year. He was my trumpet teacher at Tufts in 1975 and I really enjoyed studying with him and knowing him. He helped me through a difficult embouchure change at that time for which I am most grateful. I have enjoyed my trumpet playing more and more ever since then. I just happened to think of him today and googled his name to learn this. My synpathy and good wishes to his family.

Sorry to hear about this news and respond to it so late. Mr. Dipietro, or "Mr. Dipeetro" as I used to call him, will always be an inspiration. He was my trumpet mentor from when I was about 10, until 18/19 years old. My memories with him will always be cherished. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be half the musician I am today, and I will always and forever be grateful of his time. Although the news of his passing saddens me, I will never forget how he changed my life.

I am so sorry to hear of Albert's passing. Iris and I were best friends growing up and Iris adored her baby brother as did I. He was always sweet and kind and a lot of fun. I didn't see him much throughout the years but when I did there always was that deep admiration and love. My sincerest sympathy to my best friend Iris and all the DiPietro family.

Dearest Al,
You will always be the love of my life. We enjoyed being together all the time and when we were apart, even for a moment, we missed the other. You were the other part of me, and I was the other part of you and together we were one. You will always be with me and I will always be with you, no matter where we are. The rest of my time on Earth would be empty without you, but you and I know that we will never leave the other and that you are nearby and we are still 'one'. I went...
