After spending several years working for the family business in Waterbury, CT, he and his wife relocated to the Merrimack Valley, where he worked for nearly two decades at Raytheon until his retirement. A selfless, kind, and generous man, Al touched many lives and the legacy of his generation will forever by admired.
Al was preceded in death by his beloved bride of many years, Maria (Desmond) Corn. He is survived by one sister and one brother.
