Al was born and raised in the South Bronx. A proud Puerto Rican, he served in the United States Air Force and from there went on to be a prominent music promoter. Music was a passion for him which remained one of his greatest loves throughout his life. In addition to music, Al worked hard and dedicated much of his time to starting and owning a number of successful businesses in various industries. Al lived in Bergen County, NJ with his family until 2016, when he retired to Boynton Beach, FL. He spent 51 loving years married to Margie and was the best father and abuelo. His happiest moments in his later years were spent traveling the world and striking up conversations with everyone he met. He enjoyed spending time with his close friends and family, especially his grandchildren. He always said it like it was, quick with a joke and liked to make others laugh.  Al will be forever loved and missed.
