Alfred Iacomini

Alfred "Al" Iacomini September 4, 1943 – August 30, 2025

Alfred "Al" Iacomini, 81, of Gainesville, Florida, formerly Fort Myers, Florida, and Massachusetts, passed away on August 30, 2025, from pneumonia and congestive heart failure, just days before his 82nd birthday. His body was weary – but he was full of spirit, cracking jokes, making deals, and tinkering in his garage until the end. It was a great life that was well lived.

Al was born on September 4, 1943, in Quincy, MA, to his parents, Francis and Ruth Iacomini. He was predeceased by his first wife, Janice (Romans) Iacomini of Quincy, MA. He leaves behind his sister Roberta Rogalski (the late Herbie) and his brother Richard (Patricia) and their families.

Al's first marriage gave him his daughter Alicia (David) and his sons David (Gina) and Chris. He had a close connection with his grandson Christopher ("Bucko") as well his granddaughters Abigail ("Abby") and Ava. Al, Alicia, and Bucko cheered the Patriots on in his "man cave." Al also loved treating Abby, Ava, and Bucko to summer trips – whether it be amusement parks or, most recently this summer, a dinner in Boston's North End.

Al was the devoted husband of Mary Ellen (Fraser) Iacomini. They shared 35 years bound by love and laughter. They enjoyed mornings together on his passion-vine covered porch and sipping wine at night. They were surrounded by friends, hosting neighborhood block parties that started with impromptu invitations by Al to "come stop by for a beer!"

In 2023, Al and Mary Ellen moved to Gainesville to be close to their daughter, Sarah (Ben). He was with her for each major milestone they dreamed of him being around for: moving her into college with Bucko and Maryellen, celebrating her law school graduation and getting sworn into the bar from their living rooms during the pandemic, welcoming Ben into the family, and dancing with her at her wedding. His newest love was his granddaughter, Rosemary ("Rosie") – he excitedly waited for his morning "Cheerios time" and afternoon visits when he would sit, sing, and play with her.

Al's closest and dearest friend Andy, and his Hackford Clan, will keenly feel the loss. Going back to Maine this summer was a highlight for Al. He relished sitting on the bluff with Andy, drinking margaritas and taking in the view. "Father's Day" weekends, "projects," hot tub time and morning coffee bring the most cherished memories.

He loved his nieces Michaela, Shannon, Courtney and his nephew ("Captain") Tyler. And his favorite sister-in-law Julie and Bob Mulvaney. He was so happy to be with them this summer. He always looked forward to weekend visits from Catharine and Mike. He will be missed by his Fantasy Football crew, along with his many friends in Fort Myers and Massachusetts. Al never

met a person who didn't become a friend. He loved to mentor and share his wisdom with his "adopted" son Derek, who he "brought into the business."

Those who knew him will remember his easy laugh, his generous spirit, and his love for family. Al loved life's simple joys. He was a loyal fan of the Patriots, Bruins, and Red Sox. He started his marine business in the 1970s and worked until 2014. He could repair and sell anything. Mary Ellen called him "the world's greatest salesman." Al said marrying her was the best deal he ever made. Whether working in his shop or chatting with neighbors and friends, Al greeted everyone with warmth and kindness. He was eager to help anyone who asked.

As you remember him, please share stories (there are many) and have a laugh. When faced with a problem or opportunity, stop and ask yourself: "WWAD?" (What would Al do?)

Crevasse's Simple Cremation is honored to serve the Iacomini family.
