To the Palombizio family.
I was a classmate of Al's all through Southwest and Bulkeley and remember the many happy occasions we spent together planning our Bulkeley reunions along with Mary's artistic talent. He always had a story or two for us and he was so proud of all his family. I am glad he was able to attend our 70th reunion which was probably the last one we will have for our class. I was away when All died and just learned of it. god bless you all. I know you have many happy memories.

Dear Janice and Family:
With loving thoughts as you mourn the passing of Al Pal. He was a wonderful man and he must be so grateful to be with his loving wife and to have her cooking and cleaning for him again. I enjoyed every moment I spent listening to Beanzo's stories. Treasure the memories.

Dear Palombizio's
How saddened The Capobianco's were to read the passing of your beloved patriarch. To have read such an eloquent summary of his life's accomplishments, brought a smile to our face. He had to have been quite an accomplishment gentleman and so very proud of his family and grandchildren. He has given you blessings and you, in retrospect, have given them back to him. We're thinking of you and extend to you our hearfelt condolences. Losing anyone at any time is a difficult acceptance. We think of you with very fond remembrance. Blessings to you!

Joe and Family,
Our deepest and sincere condolence on the passing of your father. What a great gentleman that we all admired growing up in the South End of Hartford. I remember him from Goodwin Park but more so standing in front of Freeman Drug telling us it was getting dark and that we needed to get home.
My parents admired Beans a great deal as did all of us and many others
You are and will remain in our thougths and prayers.

Dear Joe, Mary, Janice, Peter & Family Members, I am so sorry about the passing of Uncle Al. I was looking forward to hearing more of his jokes at Uncle Ed's picnic this summer. He will be greatly missed. I am sure he is smiling now that he is with your Mom again. You are all in my Prayers.
Love, Mary Ellen

To all of Al's family I send love, prayers and sympathy. I have so many happy, humorous and poignant memories of Al as we were classmates at Southwest School and Bulkeley High, continuing through our many happy reunions. He was so determined to get to our reunions, in spite of his and Mary's health challenges. We will always remember his efforts on our behalf in recent years to see that we could get to Wethersfield Country Club for our Southwest and Bulkeley Reunions. God bless you all as you grieve your loss and continue on with your lives without him. Thanks again, Al. Rest in peace.
