He was born in Chester, PA, son of the late Michael and Josephine (Raffaele) Alberta, was a proud graduate of West Catholic High School and LaSalle College, and enjoyed a successful career in a variety of roles for General Motors.
Tony was a devout parishioner of St. John the Beloved Church; He was a past president of the athletic association, coached football for several years, and was an usher for decades. He was proud of his Italian heritage and traditions; enjoyed playing golf; and was an avid fan of Philadelphia sports, especially the LaSalle Explorers men's basketball team.
