I was very sorry to hear of "Alfie's" passing. My father played ball with him in the 46th Street park and at Hartley House. Everyone in my family spoke so highly of Alfie, as they called him in his youth. May your memories sustain your through this difficult time.

My love to you and your family, Mary Lee, in this sad time. I'll always be grateful to Al for his invites to my dad to the 1-2-3 Club, and remember fondly listening to both of them share their sports stories. Dinner at Kreis' will be all the more bittersweet without Al and his gentle spirit and kindness. His was a life well lived and, he, well loved by many.

I had the good fortune to meet Al through Rich Eichorst about 10 years ago...would see him maybe once or twice a year. Each time I saw him he treated me as if we were life long friends.
Such a gentleman...made me wish that I was a life long friend...

Nearly 60 years ago I attended a basketball seminar at Concordia Seminary that was conducted by a few of the St. Louis Hawks. I remember Mr. Ferrari was very kind and helpful to me, and I never forgot his smile or his great attitude. Stayed with me a lifetime. Thanks, and R.I.P.

To The Ferrari Family,
Al was one of the best basketball players in Michigan State history while playing for hall of fame coach Pete Newell.
He was as great a person as he was an athlete.
My thoughts and prayers are with Marye Lee, Chris, and the entire Ferrari clan.
