Jean,
I am so sorry to hear of Al's passing. He was a great man. I remember the many times as a child seeing Al at Sab's. My step father was Joe Canzani. So we were always there as kids. We could always count on great seats at any concert when Al got the tickets. He always had a joke for you. He will definitley be missed. R.I.P. Al Isella

To My Dear Great Uncle Al,
Although I didn't know you well, I will always cherish the times my best friend, Teresa (Sauter) Eckloff and I met up with you - whether it was lunch at Sabs or drinks in Hollintown and always a trunk full of treasures - You were always hospitable, generous and kind. You will truly be missed. God Bless Aunt Jean, Aunt Molly, Maureen and grandkids.
Love,
Roselind Isella

What can I say ?.......Ive known Al since I was a child , he was an icon for sure , but so much more , as much as the buildings around him he was always there , yes he was a bookmaker but that was just a catalyst for his real joy, the people around him , he was charismatic and it didnt matter if he was surrounded by kings and giants of business , journalist or the average guy ...he was always his gregarious self and quick on the cuff with oneliners and treated everyone like they were important . I couldnt count the number of concert tickets , ballgames and shows I saw at his generousity and I cant think of holiday fireworks with chuckling to myself and thinking of AL , Good night hooterman !

If anyone is ever curious about whom the famous "BOOKMKER SALAD" is named after...it's Mr. Al Isella. He was the first one to create it. The owners of Sabatino's at the time, named it after him. Rest in peace Mr. Al

He once told me he was "popular!" Bet he was!

I knew Mr. Al when I was a child on Greencastle Dr. He was kind, giving and a joy to know. I remember him with joyful memories of a trunk full of gifts, trips to McDonalds and to see the horses. Condolences to Ms Jean and family.
