Obituary of John J. Albani, Jr.

Putnam- John Albani Jr, 74, passed away suddenly from natural causes on Friday, April 18th, in his home, Little River Acres, Putnam CT. John leaves his brother David and his wife Aimee Albani of Holden, MA, his nephew Justin Albani of Branford, CT, and his niece, Emily Bostock and her husband Nicholas of Rutland, MA and their two children. John also leaves many close cousins and long-time friends. John was born in Southbridge MA, son of John Sr. and Bernadette Albani.

John worked as an independent contractor and cabinet maker for many years. The best years of his career was when he worked in the Building and Carpentry Facilities at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford Ct, founded by Paul Newman in 1988 for children with serious illnesses. John enjoyed fishing, crossword puzzles, listening to country and folk music and was an avid antique collector throughout his life. He enjoyed spending time with his family, close friends and neighbors. John valued his friends and the good times they had together. He was great at telling stories and he loved listening to one just as much. John had a passion for the past and made sure the next generation was aware of it and ready to carry it forward.

It was his wish that services and funeral be limited to the immediate family. In order to honor his life, please make any donations to the Hole in the Wall Gang Fund, 555 Long Wharf Drive, New Haven, CT, 06511. Share a memory at Smithandwalkerfh.com
