Eugene Biggy Alfano
Eugene N. “Biggy” Alfano, 79, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully at his home Saturday, December 6th, 2008, surrounded by his family. He was born in Kenosha on January 30, 1929, the son of the late Carmine and Carmella (Gullo) Alfano. He attended school in Kenosha, graduating from Bradford High School. He was a faithful servant of our country serving in the Army of the United States during the Korean War. He worked two jobs for the majority of his life, retiring from Daimler/Chrysler in 1985 and the Italian American Society in 1999. He was a wonderful father, grandfather, great-grandfather and dear friend. His life as a single parent of six was dedicated to working two jobs to support his family.

DEAR ALFANO FAMILY, I HAVE WAITED ON YOUR FATHER FOR MANY YEARS, ( AT GATEWAY CAFE ) AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL OF YOU. THROUGH OUT THE YEARS BIGGY HAS GIVEN ME ALOT OF ADVICE THAT HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH SOME ROUGH TIMES, HE KNEW WHEN TO SIT BACK AND LISTEN AND WHEN TO VOICE HIS OPINION. HE ALWAYS BRIGHTENED MY DAY WHEN HE CAME IN, I NEVER CONSIDERED BIGGY "A CUSTOMER" HE WAS ALWAYS MY FRIEND!!!! I WISH I HAD HALF THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT LIFE THAT HE HAD.... SO PLEASE ALFANO FAMILY KEEP YOUR CHINS HIGH, HE MAY BE GONE BUT HE'S NOT FAR AWAY!! HE IS STILL LISTENING. ALL MY PRAYERS, MICHELE VEGA
