I met AL through my friends Jack and Linda McDermott. I was going through some photos last evening and came across some of AL. We used to keep in contact by email but hadn't been in contact for a few years. I Google his name and was shocked that his obituary came up. From the first time I met him I knew he was a very special person, his beautiful smile, and kindness showed that he was a true gentlemen. I had the pleasure of hearing him play his sax so many times in the years I knew him....

Al ... It seems like we have been playing in bands together forever. We go back a long time, at least to H.S. years, (The Stardusters) and before.
But the band I remember being the best, and having the most fun in, was the one we took to Wildwood and played "The Riptide" then settled in "Moores Inlet" in N. Wildwood.... "The Hi-Five".(the renamed original Stardusters)
OH those Wildwood Days, and WOW those WILDwood nights.
Reat In Peace My Brother....
Jimmy.

Jeff and Family,
I hardly have a memory of the Nemours Italy trip without Al in it. He kept us laughing the whole trip through ... from his "lost" passport, his joining in with the band to sing on a whim to his getting us a table for 14 in a packed resturant without a reservation because he told the waitstaff (in fluent Italian) that he had "money, lots and lots of money"!

Al was such a presence when performing. You couldn't help but feel you were on stage with him. My condolences to the family.

I was truly blessed to have a childhood filled with wonderful memories of my Uncle Al and our families together. As well as the memory of my moms insurmountable love for her dear brother. You will live on in all our hearts. I love you.

With Sympathy for your family, and with many loving thoughts for the wonderful memories you gave to my husband, and me while dancing to the music of your band before my husband went to be with the Lord. From my heart, Liv H Whaples

Harlem Nocturne was recorded by many artists: a slow dance tune that made you want to pull your girlfriend in close and float away. Nobody could play this sultry sax number better than AL. He will be remembered for so much more, but for me. …Thank You Al Santoro for that teenage memory and the honor of having known you.
