Alfred Tranfaglia

Alfred Tranfaglia, affectionately known as Al, passed away on June 21, 2025. Born on September 4, 1927, in Revere, Massachusetts, Al was a lifelong resident of the city he cherished. A kind and generous soul, he devoted his life to his family, his community, and his home.

After graduating from high school, Al answered the call of duty by serving in the Navy Reserve before being drafted into active duty by the Army during the Korean War. Upon completing his service, he returned to Revere and began a long and steady career as a truck driver. He belonged to Teamsters Local 25. Though he spent many days on the road, Al found his greatest joy in the simple pleasures of home—meticulously caring for his yard and house, always with love and pride. Every flower planted and every blade of grass trimmed was a quiet expression of his deep devotion to his family.

Al’s warmth and humor extended beyond his home and into the community. He was a familiar face at the Rossetti Senior Center, where he shared countless hours of laughter, stories, and camaraderie with friends old and new.

Al was predeceased by his beloved wife of 51 years, Libby Tranfaglia; his father, Arthur Tranfaglia; his mother, Carmella Tranfaglia; and his brothers Carl, Edward, Arthur, and Eugene. He was the devoted father of Francis A. Tranfaglia of Revere and Rosemarie Waller and her husband Michael of Haverhill. He was the cherished grandfather of Kristie Scafidi, and proud great-grandfather of Dominic, Logan, and Mackenzie.
