Al is preceded in death by his father, his mother, and his brother, Matthew Verdeschi. He is also survived by his extended family including aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
I didn't know that Al Verdeschi had passed away and I am shocked and deeply saddened. Al was like a brother to me. I remember spending a lot of time with him - and his family. Too young! My thoughts are with his friends and family.
Very sad to learn of Al's passing. He was a good friend, listener and supporter for many years. Fun memories of HS and double dating. Our friendship extended to college.Grateful for knowing him.
