Albert Anthony Solimine, age 83 of Wayne and Hobe Sound, FL, died peacefully on Thursday, January 2, 2014, while his family lovingly stood by him at his bedside.
Albert was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. He graduated from Cardinal Hayes High School in 1947 and promptly enlisted into the United States Navy where he served the country he loved from 1948 to 1949.
In 1959, Al met the love of his life, Anne De Angelis. They arranged to get married on Saturday, February 4, 1961 but due to over thirty inches of snow, the wedding was postponed and rescheduled for the following Saturday. After a honeymoon to Nassau in the Bahamas they settled into their first home together in the Bronx.
In 1962, Al and Anne were blessed with a baby boy Albert, and, a year later, they welcomed their daughter Laurie. By this point in his life, Al was getting well-established in his job with Allied Signal. His career with Allied began in 1958 and he ultimately moved up to the rank of Systems Analyst before retiring in 2000 after 42 years on the job. In 1969, the family moved to Wayne where Al had lived ever since.
Al was blessed with a great family and many fine friends. He enjoyed boating, golf, and playing billiards with his friends. He was also a member of Wayne UNICO and the town pool. Al was a beloved grandfather to his two grandchildren Justin and Shannon, who knew him as Poppy. Over the years, he became known as Poppy by everyone who knew and loved him. He especially enjoyed attending his grandchildren's athletic and musical events.
Surviving are his beloved wife of 52 years, Anne; his son Albert and wife Allison of Wayne and his daughter Laurie and husband John Plunkett also of Wayne; his two grandchildren: Justin and Shannon Plunkett; his three brothers: Phillip and wife Lucille, Armand and wife Judy, and Peter and wife Christine Solimine, all of Florida; and many nieces and nephews.
