Albert John "Big Al" Mancini

To the Mancini family.

I stumbled upon this obituary...Big Al and my dad Luigi Mancini, were cousins. Evidently they were close when they were single. My dad passed in 2002. Sorry for your loss. Better late than never. Hope you all get this message.

BIG AL, THANK YOU FOR OPENING THE DOOR TO YOUR HOUSE AND LETTING ME KNOW YOU AS MY FRIEND. REMEMBERING SOME GREAT TIMES WITH YOU, BILLY, AND AJ AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE RESTARAUNT SCENE AFTER MY FATHERS FUNERAL. EVEN DURING A TOUGH TIME YOU WERE ABLE TO REPLACE TEARS WITH LAUGHTER. AJ'S WEARING A NEW SHIRT AT THE JOB, I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SEE HIM WEAR IT. YOU'D BE VERY PROUD. THANKS AGAIN BIG AL FOR SOME GREAT TIMES AND STORIES
WITH THE BOYS, YOU TRULY WERE A CLASSIC. LOVE ALWAYS...

Hi Nancy, I'm sorry to hear of you father's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Jim Selfridge

AJ and Mary, Billy, Nancy & Patricia,

My wife Colleen and I are very sorry to hear of the loss of your Father. I'll never forget and will always cherish all the great times spent with "Big Al". It was always a pleasure to go out and have "Big Al" tag along and say, "You guys just do your thing and don't worry about me - I'll be just fine in the corner". He always somehow managed to become the center of attention every place we went and we finally came to the realization that "we"...

AJ & Billy: I am very sorry for your loss. Your Dad was one of the most congenial, funny and unforgettable Dads who always took interest in what your friends were up to - He served as EVERYONE's Dad. And he always remembered me even when I hadn't seen him in a long time [or at least was nice enough to pretend to!] I always found it wonderful that he wasn't just "Billy and AJ's Dad", he was actually a good friend who you hung out with regularly. You are all very lucky for those times. He...

Nancy, Trisha, Billy and A.J.~

I've never met a family so close as you all are, which is a tribute to your love for each other. I know how great a father, not to mention friend, Big Al was to all of you. He will be missed by all whose lives he touched (basically, anyone ever fortunate enough to meet him), but I bet your Mother's glad to finally have him with her!

AJ, BILLY, PATRICIA, NANCY AND FAMILY, WE WERE ALL SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT UNCLE AL,...YOU ARE ALL IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. WE ALL HAVE MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES GROWING UP THAT WE WILL TREASURE ALWAYS. UNCLE AL WILL ALWAYS HOLD A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS. FIND A STAR FOR UNCLE AL. GOD BLESS YOU
LOVE ALWAYS
THE LAVANWAY FAMILY
