  • Obituary

    He loved order in his life: Albert went to sleep at the same time every night and woke up the same time every morning. He was neither late nor early, just perfectly on time. It might be why sought a career as an electrical engineer. He was a graduate of Drexel University and worked many years for Philco-Ford. Albert lived many an adventure;he was raised in South Philly and served in World War II as a Navigator on a B-17G. As a father he'd pile his kids into the Ford station wagon and truck them about the country. He spent his retirement years honing his computer skills,reading about history,physicals and the sea and tending to his garden. He was loyal to the Phillies through the good and the bad. He was active at St. Pete's; as treasurer of the Holy Name Society he paid for the doughnuts from L&M and counted all the money from the ticket sales. A young Albert met a Scottish girl and treated her to a lobster dinner on their first date. He and the late Catherine Boyle were wed in 1956. Their union was blessed by four children: Joe,Kathleen Cofrancesco,Fran and Margaret. His eight grandchildren rejuvenated his life and drew most of his attention in his later years. Come celebrate 88 great years Saturday 8 to 10 A.M. at Sweeney Funeral Home,Riverside. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10:30 A.M. at Jesus the Good Shepard Church (St. Peter's Site) Riverside. Interment will be private.
