Alvin Edwin Lichtenstein Jr.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Al Lichtenstein, Jr., age 73, on August 8, 2025. He was born on May 15, 1952, in New Orleans. He is survived by his son, Lance Michael Lichtenstein; his grandchildren; his brother, Gary Lichtenstein; his sister, Debbie Lichtenstein Cassisa; and his sister-in-law, Patty Lucia. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Al Lichtenstein, Sr., and Marilyn Aromy Lichtenstein, and his brother-in-law, John Joseph Cassisa. We will miss him.

Al was always lighthearted and fun-loving. He loved his family and his many friends very deeply and was always fiercely loyal to all of them. Growing up with Al was surely an adventure filled with laughs, mischief, and unconditional love. He had a great sense of humor, and we could always count on him to be able to lighten up a tense moment. This trait came in handy countless times in our lives. He loved giving gifts. His gifts were always thoughtful and personal, and he always spent too much on them.

As a teenager, he was always proud to have earned the nickname "the Dude" from his closest friends. It stuck with him all his life, and it still made him smile whenever he was reminded of it. He loved sports, animals, the outdoors, and flower gardens, but the thing that he loved most in his life was his son, Lance, who always owned the biggest piece of his heart.

He will be missed, and he will never be forgotten by those who loved him. May his Soul Rest in Peace until we see him again.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the American Heart Society or planting a tree in Al's memory.
