Albert Bartolucci Obituary
80, was called home by his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on April 30, 2017. Al was born on April 9, 1937, in Buffalo, New York. Self-employed most of his life, he was the owner-operator of Raindrop Pool Service in Chandler. He married Patricia "Pat" Bartolucci on May 27, 1961 and they had a son, Tony, in 1963. In 1974 he moved the family to Arizona from Buffalo.
He was unique in the finest sense of the word. Al had a tremendous and often quirky sense of humor; a kid at heart in a grown man's body. He was a gentle peacemaker (Matthew 5:9) who went out of his way to help others, telling them that his kindness was due to his love for Jesus Christ who transformed his life in 1980.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Patricia, their son, Tony, daughter-in-law, Lois, and his sister Janet Mazurek. He joins his beloved granddaughter, Giana Marie Bartolucci, who entered the presence of Jesus at age 14 less than one year ago.
A memorial service with reception following will be held Thursday evening, May 4, at 7:00 pm at Antioch Community Church, 1125 N. Dobson Rd. Chandler, Arizona 85224. In leu of flowers, donations may be made to Gideon's International (www.gideons.org) or to the Giana Bartolucci Memorial Fund, c/o Clarkson Community Church 8339 W. Ridge Rd. Brockport, NY 14420 (Checks payable to CCC or online at www.clarksonchurch.com).

Another year, Dad. Today I detailed your 1961 Nash Metropolitan and went for a ride. It seems to be running great for the first time in a while. Especially thinking of you and Giana today.

Dear dad, April 30 was your 4 year anniversary of being with Jesus - and seeing your beloved granddaughter - my baby, Giana again. I'm sitting in my Jeep at Holley Falls, NY having a tough day. Wish we could talk, but that will have to wait for a time.

My dad, age 80; his granddaughter, Giana, age 14 (who passed in June 2016 from injuries sustained via our 12/24/15 encounter with a drunk driver). What an incredibly difficult time. The pain continues, but I'm thankful that there is certain hope for those who die in Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

Al had his special (hand shake) which would make me laugh. He always was willing and helpful giving me advice about anything we would be discussing. I would call Al most of the time when I would be in Calif. AL, I love you and will always thing back in time of all of our vast conversation.

Have comfort in knowing that God is close to those who are brokenhearted. Because of God's love expressed through the ransom sacrifice of his Son, Jesus Christ, we can look forward to seeing our loved ones again. He keeps them all in his memory.

Hi Tony, Lois, and Pat,

I love my dad so much and weep as I write these words. But I'm thankful for a great father who loved me and taught me so much. No one could ask for a better daddy - and now he has joined our 14 year old daughter, his cherished granddaughter, Giana (who went to be with the Lord subsequent to our encounter with a drunk driver on Dec. 24, 2015).
God used you to bring me to Christ and by God's generous grace we will see each other again.
