In 1967 he started his career working on the railroad. Al had an extreme passion for the railroad. Working on Metro-North was a job he truly loved. His family would like to thank Dr. Mark Marieb and staff, especially Natalie. Alwas eternally grateful to Dr. Marieb & Natalie for helping prolong his life over these past 23 years so that he could see his “four little men” grow up. A special thank you to the staff (aka: earth angels) of Hartford Healthcare Hospice Home Care and Midstate Medical Hospice in Meriden for providing such comforting care during his final days. His girls ask in memory of their dad to watch an episode of How it’s Made. “Always good to learn something new.” – A.J. Badamo

It was always a pleasure to work with Al …always felt safe working with him .. so knowledgeable about the job and such a nice person .. My heart goes out to the family ☘️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😢
RIP
It was with deep sadness that I learned of Al’s passing. Growing up with Al and Eddie in the State Street area we spent many a day together playing ball and doing what kids did back then. The years have been many since then but the friends we made as children and those memories of growing up together remain in spite of distances and life events. Those childhood memories live on in the hearts of all who new and loved Al. There’s a quote from the Scottish poet Thomas Campbell taken from his poem “Hallowed Ground” which speaks for all of us , “To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die”. May the Badamo family find peace in knowing Al will not be forgotten.
It’s been so long since our paths crossed yet you’ve never been forgotten in my heart. Truly one of the kindest, most professional, people I’ve worked with on the railroad – or anywhere!
I hope your family will take comfort in knowing how well thought of you have always been and that you’ve got friends that wish you God speed!
Al was a great guy and co worker. He will be missed. God Bless him and your family.
Ed my condolences to you and your family
