What a Great Man! Often mentioning Al when Teaching. This or that story, this anecdote. How to play Petrushka and Hummel.
Laughing over some mistake.....
How to behave and present yourself successfully at Auditions. Al taught it ALL!
Never forgetting the great one!

I am deeply sorry to learn of Al's passing last year. He was my trumpet teacher at Tufts in 1975 and I really enjoyed studying with him and knowing him. He helped me through a difficult embouchure change at that time for which I am most grateful. I have enjoyed my trumpet playing more and more ever since then. I just happened to think of him today and googled his name to learn this. My synpathy and good wishes to his family.

Sorry to hear about this news and respond to it so late. Mr. Dipietro, or "Mr. Dipeetro" as I used to call him, will always be an inspiration. He was my trumpet mentor from when I was about 10, until 18/19 years old. My memories with him will always be cherished. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be half the musician I am today, and I will always and forever be grateful of his time. Although the news of his passing saddens me, I will never forget how he changed my life.

I am so sorry to hear of Albert's passing. Iris and I were best friends growing up and Iris adored her baby brother as did I. He was always sweet and kind and a lot of fun. I didn't see him much throughout the years but when I did there always was that deep admiration and love. My sincerest sympathy to my best friend Iris and all the DiPietro family.

Dearest Al,
You will always be the love of my life. We enjoyed being together all the time and when we were apart, even for a moment, we missed the other. You were the other part of me, and I was the other part of you and together we were one. You will always be with me and I will always be with you, no matter where we are. The rest of my time on Earth would be empty without you, but you and I know that we will never leave the other and that you are nearby and we are still 'one'. I went to the hospital today to thank the doctors and nurses who cared for you. I brought a coffee cake and copies of the obituary. I went to the Vernon Cancer Center at Newton Wellesley Hospital where we spent so many long days for the last five months. They were so sad that you had passed but were happy to see me. Then I went to the fourth floor where you passed away to thank the wonderful nurses there. Another patient was in the room that you spent so many weeks and passed away in. More hugs followed - and they hung your obituary up on their employee bulletin board. Then I went to the first floor lab where I had to have blood drawn because my heart rate has been so rapid since you became ill. They brought me in right away because they didn't want me to wait and led me into the pediatrics area where I'd be waited on quicker. When the young man was taking my information, I felt you take my right hand and hold it in the special way you always do. There was an electrical current that went from your hand to my hand. I was led into a room where they drew my blood and the nurse had me sit on a rather large seat. I moved way over to the left and she said it was a seat for two people so that someone could sit beside me, and that normally a child would have a parent sitting beside them. I told her that you were sitting beside me. You held my hand and never let go and have been holding it since. You look like your old self, handsome, strong and happy. You have discarded your body and have no pain. When I arrived home alone the night you passed, the house was still but I knew you were there. It was all new to you and you were in awe of being able to be there and not be seen. You wanted me to see you but knew I was overwhelmed with grief. I took your coat and hat and held them close and kissed them.
Your loving wife Donna
