He participated in the second wave that hit Omaha Beach in Normandy during the invasion of D-Day. He made his living as a tailor in Gloucester City Pallante's Tailor Shop. All his life, he was known as a very friendly, humble, and peaceful gentleman. He loved family gatherings most and will be remembered for his famous Christmas parties and homemade cookies and meatballs. Al was very spiritual, he loved St. Margaret's Parish; he never judged anyone and was a great listener always ready to help. He was very generous man and his favorite charity was Veterans of America. He was the last Pallante of his generation of siblings, but the name lives on through his nephews.
