Albert L. "Big Al" Lanzilli Jr.

Shirley, Big Al's family,
I have been blessed to have known Al. He was a man that truly was bigger than life. He was kind, gentle, loved his family & friends, and a man who inspired greatness in all he met. My wife and I miss and hold him close in our prayers daily as we also hold you.

Big Al was the first boss I ever had! I was just 15 years of age when I started working at his convenience store in East Boston. I can remember the talks he used to have with me, his big smile and his words of wisdom. I can honestly say that that job and the Lanzilli family (Big Al and his 2 sons) had a huge impact on the type of women I am today. They inspired me to work hard and not let others influence me. I continue to pratice the same work ethic to this day in my profession. I am very...

I would like to tell the family that I am sorry to hear about your loss.
I grew up in East Boston, and knew all the boys, especially Tommy
Rita & Duke Giacobelli

When I think of Big Al it brings a huge smile to my face. I am so very sorry for the loss of such a giant teddy bear. I know for sure he loved his family... and how very lucky they are to have been blessed with him.

Dear Shurl,

Medford is now a little darker... how we all will miss the BIG smile and hearty laugh of Big Al. His courage and faith during his many trials is a great example to all of us!

Love is forever!

Laverne

Mrs. Lanzilli and family,
We are deeply sorry for the loss of your husband. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We are friends of Theresa and Albie.

Dear Shirley,
We will miss him.
Love,

This world will not be the same without Big Al. His kind heart, generous spirit and sense of humor will be so missed but always remembered. It may seem that his nickname referred to his appearance, but those who knew him know it refers to his big heart and his big spirit. We love you Big Al , thank you for everything...
