I have the most wonderful memories of sharing interesting conversations with Al when he used to come down to Florida. He had an amazing mind and I always so looked forward to meeting with him and Eleanor. Rest in peace my friend. you're in my prayers. My heart felt condolences to his family.

Dearest Eleanor, Chris, Jamie and the entire Dezzi family, you have my deepest condolences. There are no words to express my sadness upon hearing of Al´s passing. But for me I´ve decided to focus on the the great work I was able to do with him. Al was truly an innovator! He masterfully created and implemented one of the nations most innovative recycling programs for Philadelphia as City of Philadelphia Recycling Czar! I will always think of him as a champion for my firm but more importantly a gentleman and a "true friend". The true friend is who I will miss the most.

Eleanor.
We were very sorry to hear of Al's passing. We were just looking at old pictures the other day and there was one of Al and me at a reunion. Fond memories! We're glad he is in a better place and not suffering anymore. We're praying for you and your family.

Although I had not met Al and knowing his accomplishments it was my loss. I know and have worked with Eleanor and I experienced the care she provided to Al whom she mentioned whenever we met. God speed and God bless Al.
