Alfonse Sblendorio

I knew Alfonse as a very young boy when I would walk to his childhood home with my cousin, Celeste, to visit him and his siblings. Having moved away and raised a family of my own, I unfortunately have not stayed connected but would like to extend my condolences nonetheless to his beloved wife, Francine, and his entire family. It warms my heart to know know he grew up to be such a wonderful man and leaves a lasting legacy through those he loved. May you find comfort in your faith knowing he...

I was gifted to know Alfonse, as I'm sure a lot of you got that same gift. Always remember the handshake and smile. That picture will never fade.

I will always remember Alphonse and our Riis park days. He was my big protector when the older guys would pick on me. I will always remember our family get together for st. Joseph’s day, Christmas eves etc. the best days of our lives. I love you my big cousin and will never forget you. Your cousin Celeste

Alphonse, was the older brother that I didn't have. I was a few years younger, and he was always a protector to me and my friends as we navigated through Riis Park and our old neighborhood. Alphonse was always there when you needed him and he truly loved his family and friends. It's been my pleasure growing up with him and Francine and I will miss our lunches at New Star. His stories are priceless and he will be missed.
