Albert Musalo Memoriam

Albert and Joan Musalo In Loving Memory One year ago our loving parents, Al and Joan Musalo, were brutally and senselessly murdered. On March 28th, 2006 our parents lives were taken at their Montreux home in Reno, Nevada. Their family and friends miss them each day, especially Mom's infectious laughter and Dad's guiding advice. We are still waiting for an answer as to how this senseless tragedy could have happened, and for the peace that will come from knowing that the murderer has been caught. If you have any information that could help solve this case, please contact the Reno Secret Witness Program at (775) 322-4900. A reward of $35,000 is being offered for the arrest and conviction of the killer. Our parents made homes and friends in many places around the world. Dad was a flight engineer with Pan American Airlines for 33 years. Mom provided a loving home for her husband and four children; Susan, Richard, Joanne, and Robert. Natives of Brooklyn, New York, their wanderlust and Dad's career brought them to Lindenhurst and Merrick, Long Island; Greenwich, Connecticut; Berlin, Germany; Moraira, Spain; Friday Harbor and Seattle, Washington; Bonita Springs, Florida; Tucson, Arizona; and Incline Village, Glenbrook, Genoa, and Reno, Nevada. In between packing to move (Mom's never ending hobby!), they enjoyed tennis, golfing, sailing, skiing, flying, and playing Scrabble. Mom enjoyed preparing good food for everyone. The center of their lives was spending time with family and friends. Laughter and love filled their home. There will always be an ache in our hearts and a deep sorrow that comes from the way that they left this world, but we are grateful for the love and experiences we have shared together as a family and will always cherish those memories that keep our parents near.

I Knew Al and Joan as a youngster, when I lived in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, N.Y. My Dad, Louis Macchiaverna, knew the Musalos very well as he was the neighborhood electrician and Al's parents too,as they needed work to be done. What a sinful thing to do to such beautiful people like these. Be with God, Blessed Mom, and my Dad, Lou and Mom, Anita and all your wonderfuf families.

I did not know Al nor Joan, but I am touched by your loss. I feel certain, in my heart of hearts, truth wants to... and does... come to light.
Your family was blessed with two people who seem to be full of love and passed that love to those around them.
