Charities
The family greatly appreciates donations made to these charities in Alfred J. LaLicata 's name.
What a beautiful life. I am so blessed to have had you as my Papa. I will miss you forever. I love you always.
I was so fortunate to have you as an Uncle for so many years and wonderful memories. You will truly be missed.
My family was fortunate to be included as your own and have many beautiful memories to hold dear in our hearts forever. Love, Chuck, Deb, Angelica and Nick
Al: It is almost impossible to express our feelings. We were not friends; we were part of your family. The joy of spending time with you and Marie and your family is a highlight of our lives, whether it was golfing, vacations (cruising) or New Year’s Eve eating the fabulous Italian dinners you always cooked.
Words and pictures can never convey the deep and abiding love that emanated from you.
I know that the three of us, like the entire Lalicata clan, will mourn Mr. Al forever, but we will also have smiles on our faces when we think of the wonderful things you did for everyone.
My uncle. He would make us laugh so hard you would forget every problem you ever had. Ride that boat into the everlasting sunset. 🤍
I am full of memories of my brother and every single one of them is filled with happiness. Al was someone special growing up and all through my life. We all adored him including my sister, cousins, aunts, etc. I was so proud of him in his sailor’s uniform and one day when my sister, Ro, and I were walking on an avenue of shops in Queens Village, we were surprised to see his sailor picture in the window of a studio! Throughout our lives when, in spite of the differences in our ages and distance of our homes and lives, when Al was around he had a terrific sense of humor which kept us laughing. We shared a bond of having the same birthday, Oct 24th. There is a part of a poem I once read:” Now all we have is memories and your picture in a frame, your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts. God bless and give you strength, Marie and family
Marie, Maria. Alfred, Lisa
Nothing we can say will ease your pain, but we are forever sorry for your loss of someone so special.
Tom and Al grew up together. So many memories.
Rest in peace among our Angels xxx ooo
Sorry for yall’s loss. We have great memories of visiting Uncle AL and Aunt Marie, the clamming being a high point with Uncle AL. Love all and prayers for Uncle AL and family.
How my Papa adored his cousins.
On behalf of the St. Patrick’s Church community in Southold, we extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers to you during this time of loss. Alfred will be remembered for his spirit and the love he shared with those around him.
Dear Marie and children, please know that our church family is here to support you and keep Alfred in our prayers. May the Lord bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead.
With heartfelt condolences,
Fr Abraham
St. Patrick’s Church, Southold
