  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. candleDear Marie and family. Many memories have come up that are meaningful. Al was a great person. My prayers are with you all. He will always be watching over you. Perhaps he and John will now meet again. My heart goes out to each of you. Watch over each other. Love Nancy

  10. My uncle. He would make us laugh so hard you would forget every problem you ever had. Ride that boat into the everlasting sunset. 🤍

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. candleWhat a great loss for everyone he knew. My cousin Al (we called him Junior) was nineteen years older than me, but he always made me feel like a contemporary. He would light up a room with his wide smile and green eyes ( like Aunt Marianne’s 🥰). I loved his sense of humor, sincere interest in others, and how he hosted wonderful family gatherings. My mother Jeanette adored him, and will now be with him in spirit. May Marie and all the LaLicatas know that he is in a peaceful, beautiful place and yet will always be with them. All my love, Debbie

  15. candleWe are saddened by the news of the passing of cousin Junior. Although many years had gone by since we had seen him and Marie, we were happy to see them both over the last several years at family weddings. We will cherish the recent memories and those of the past. Our prayers to his family during this very difficult time. We are all very sorry for your loss.

  16. candleLighting a candle in prayer for Al LaLicata, and support for his family and loved ones. May the light guide you through this very difficult time, and may it help you to know he is in peace and the memories you hold in your heart will always keep him close as he watches over you. Our prayers to his family during this very difficult time. We are very sorry for your great loss.

  17. My brother was my best friend and my hero. When I was 11 years old, he rescued me from deep waters though he couldn’t swim and he nearly died from drowning. As a teenager, neighborhood boys, who looked up to Big Al, were warned by him not to mess with his sister. He was my protector. Al was also my Google. Whether it was a home repair, gardening, cooking, my golf game, and many others, he was always there to advise or give me tips by phone. During my annual vacations in Cutchogue (his home in paradise as Al called it), we enjoyed fishing, clamming, crabbing, golfing, crafts, trying our luck at videopoker at Foxwoods, or simply watching the Mets on TV together. My brother’s personality and presence were as big as his heart. This handsome, strong, and fun-loving man was almost always in motion. May he now rest in the peace of our Lord. May our Lord bring peace and comfort to Marie and family. I will miss Al dearly.

  18. candleDear LaLicata Family,
    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

  19. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve nothing but fond memories of Uncle Al and family. I’ll never forget clamming and boating with him. I also never forget him telling me at the dinner table as a teenager, that I must have a skill in life. His words were engraved in me through my career to always have a valuable skill. Uncle Al, I hope there is fishing in heaven and you catch a bigger king mackerel than grandpa.
