So sorry about the passing of yet another classmate, Al Saraceni. He was so very sick for some time yet seemed to get better...even saw him and his wife several times at Batavia Downs...a pastime they both enjoyed. He always spoke and was so friendly and had a smile for everyone. May he rest in peace and prayers for all family members..

I remember Al from high school, he always was a good guy and ready to share stories. I remember seeing him at some of the high school reunions and he looked great. I'm so disappointed to hear of his passing. My thoughts to his wife and the family, maybe he rest in peace..
