Alberigo Romeo, lovingly known as Al, Allen, Carmelo, or Melo, 80, passed away on January 30, 2022.

Born in Locri, Calabria, Italy, he was the son of the late, Francesco & Carmela (Cufari) Romeo.

He was a sought-after specialist in auto body restoration and worked on numerous classic & antique vehicles, including the custom built 1899 Knox Automobile, for the Springfield Museums. Al was a longtime communicant of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church where he also served as an usher. In his free time, he enjoyed gardening, wine making, and card playing.

Alberigo was predeceased by his sister and five brothers in Italy. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 50 years, Maria (Fusaro), son Francesco of Springfield, and son Tony & partner Rosario Tramontana of South Kingstown, Rhode Island.
