LOUIS D'ALESSANDRO Obituary
Louis H. "Bub" D'Alessandro, 69, of Vineland passed away Monday, Aug. 16, 2010, at home, surrounded by his beloved family and close friends.
A lifelong Vineland resident, he was born in Millville to the late Louis S. "Lou Dale" and Edith (Jennings) D'Alessandro. He was a 1958 graduate of Sacred Heart High School and 1968 graduate of Philadelphia's Spring Garden Institute Automotive Training Center, with specialization in automotive service technology (machine shop) and automotive maintenance.
Lou was employed as an automotive machine shop instructor at Spring Garden Institute from 1968 to 1972. He served with Company A as a sergeant in the First Battalion 50th Armored Division of the New Jersey Army National Guard, Vineland, from 1962 to 1968. He owned and operated D and J Transit, a sand-hauling trucking concern, for 13 years. He also owned and operated Lou D'Alessandro Fabrication, specializing in custom metal fabrication and welding, and manufactured Chrysler Corp. products. He was most recently employed as a machinist at Chemglass Inc. from 2000 until his death. Known to his cronies as "Mumbles," Lou and his friends enjoyed countless hours of camaraderie, building and racing hot rod cars and restoring vintage automobiles. He so loved his nieces and nephews and his friends' children. An avid championship drag racing fan, he was a member of the National Hot Rod Association and the National Street Rod Association.
He will be sadly missed by his loving family; and dear friends, Bill Buscham, Rich Keenan, John Manera, Marty Mastro, Louie Pinotti, Jim Sainsott and Walt Surdam.
He is survived by his sister and her husband, Barbara and Charles Sheftall; nephews, Michael Angelucci, Adam Sheftall and Cody Sheftall; nieces, Meredith and her husband Robert Borski, and Alexis Sheftall; great-nephews, Montgomery Angelucci, Michael Sheftall and Benjamin Borski; and great-nieces, Cassandra Angelucci, Courtny Bindewald, Olivia Borski and Sophia Borski.
He was predeceased by his beloved dog, Mayor Sammy of East Avenue.
