It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Albert C. Cosenza, a beloved
husband, father, and grandfather, who left us on May 27, 2024 at the age of 80. He was a man
of great integrity, dedication, and love, and his memory will forever be cherished by all who
knew him.
Albert was born on Apirl 6 th 1944 in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn. It is there where he met, married
and dedicated nearly 56 wonderful years to his beloved wife, Mary. Their marriage was a
testament to love, commitment, and mutual respect, creating a strong foundation for their
family.
As a professional, Albert had a distinguished career. He served as the Executive Vice President
for the Long Island Rail Road, where his leadership and vision made a lasting impact. He also
held the position of General Counsel for the New York City Transit Authority, where his
expertise and dedication were widely respected and appreciated.
Family was the cornerstone of Albert’s life. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary; his son Chris
and daughter-in-law Jessica; his daughter Suzanne and daughter-in-law Alison; and his
cherished grandchildren, Katie, Nick, and Lauren. His family was his pride and joy, and he found
immense happiness in their company and accomplishments.
Albert will be remembered for his wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support. His legacy of
love and dedication will continue to inspire his family and friends.
We find solace in knowing that Albert's spirit will live on in the hearts and memories of those
who loved him. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

Condolences & prayers go out to your family at this time, God bless!
So sorry to hear of Al’s passing. My condolences to the Cosenza family.
You were a fine gentleman. Your kindness, generosity, love, support, good nature and sense of humor were awesome.
Thank you for being you.
I feel very privileged to have worked for and with Al since he first came to the LIRR. Initially very stern and intimidating, over the years I came to refer to him as “My Pal Al” in acknowledgement of the guidance and support he gave me. I learned something from Al every time I was with him. And yes, he DID have a great sense of humor.
He will be very missed.
