Providence, Rhode Island, the son of the late Giuseppe Paliotta and Concetta (Mariorenzi) Paliotta. Al
was a resident of Rhode Island for over eighty years before relocating to Port Orange, Florida. He
attended high school in Providence, Rhode Island before serving in the United States Army Corp of
Engineers for three years in the mid-1950s. Al worked extensively throughout southern New England in
the glass and aluminum industry as a draftsman and project manager. Al worked at Karas and Karas
Glass Company Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts for many years before retiring from the industry in 1987
due to health issues. Albert was extremely proud of his beautiful family and enjoyed quality time with
them whenever possible. Al enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors and was an avid gardener, a
classic country music enthusiast, an amateur guitarist and all-around traveler. He would go on to spend
