Al was the patriarch of this family … everyone stopped what they were doing to greet him when he walked into a room … he was honored then … and will continue to be honored as his family heals from this loss. Thanks, Al, for making me feel welcomed in your family … I have been blessed. My heart goes out to all his family as they mourn the loss of a patriarch … and may their memories continue to flourish.
Please accept our condolences on your father’s passing. My grandfather was Louis Mossakowski of Binghamton NY, brother of Joseph Mossakowski. That makes my father Hank and Alphonse cousins! I know we don’t know each other, but wanted to let you know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
