Albert Carl Betti - beloved husband of Carolina (nee Rosa); loving father of Laura (Pete) Gagliano and Anthony (Mariassunta) Betti; proud and cherished grandfather of Anthony, Alexandra and Peter Gagliano and Dante and Stefania Betti.  Albert served with distinction in the Army's Corp of Engineers during the Korean Conflict, at which time he met his wife of nearly 63 years while stationed in Italy. Albert was a man of simple desires, with the exception of his passionate love of family, vacations and movies. Albert also loved reading and photography.  Albert was a devoted Catholic and US Army Veteran.  Albert faced challenges during his life and showed us how to overcome them with humor and humility. He preferred to focus on the good in people, rather than their faults. Albert was a good man, loving husband and incredible father. We are better because of him and will never forget him. "Ciao Pa, a presto."  In lieu of flowers donations to the Alzheimer's Association would be appreciated.  Funeral Mass will take place on Tuesday at St. Andrew Church at 10 a.m.  Interment All Saints Cemetery.  Info 773-588-5850 www.cooneyfuneralhome.com
