Alfonso “Al” Sollecito was born on July 26, 1934, in Brooklyn, New York. He was predeceased by his parents, Mary and Vincent, and his six siblings. He is survived by his beloved wife of 66 years, Millie (nee Livoti); his 4 children, Mary Lynn (Luke), Lucia (Keith), Vincent, and Madelyn (Paul); 11 grandchildren, John (Sage), Al (Samantha), Philip (Megan), David, Kerry (Robert), Will, Michael, Alex, Nicholas, Alfonso James “AJ”, and Matthew; and 6 great grandchildren.

Mentored by his father, Al became a master cabinetmaker. Using his craft, he started a custom home building company that still exists today. Al had a passion for sports as he enjoyed playing golf and rooting for his beloved New York Yankees. Ultimately, nothing was more important to him in life than his family to whom he will always be remembered as their true patriarch.
