Albert J. Ercolani, Jr., 69, of Kingston, passed away on Saturday August 10, 2013 at his home.

Born August 19, 1943, in Washington, D.C., he was the son of the late Albert E. and Eva Terpack Ercolani.

Albert, also known as “Al” to many, was a strong man with a gentle heart.  He carried with him an enormous amount of compassion and helped anyone in need , which he shared with everyone.  He was a caretaker for many.  His generous nature is what many remember most about him.   Albert’s purpose in life became his devotion to his godchild KaeLynn, Pittston,Pa.  KaeLynn brought him overwhelming joy.   She and “Al” spent priceless hours enjoying life together as he taught and showed her how to enjoy each day.   Albert made an impact on many lives.  Whether your troubles were big or small and no matter where you came from, he was your rock.   Albert’s  spirit and energy cannot be completely captured in words. He lived life from the heart, going above and beyond with everyone  he encountered. His departure in this world leaves an emptiness in all those who knew him; To know him was to love him.
