Obituary of Albert L. Berarducci

Albert L. Berarducci, 87, of Plainville, died early Saturday morning at the Hospital of Central Connecticut in New Britain. Born and raised in Plainville he was the youngest son of the late Josephine (D'Amico) and Peter Berarducci. He attended Plainville schools and graduated from the E.C. Goodwin Technical School before enlisting in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. Upon returning home he joined brothers Peter and Andrew and together ran the B & L Tool and Machine Company in Plainville. He worked there until retiring in 1989 as President. He was a very active member of Our Lady of Mercy Church, the Retreat League of the church where he served a term as chairman and the AARP. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus, Third Degree. Al traveled the world extensively with his wife for years and later in retirement enjoyed the many excursions that the AARP had to offer. Nothing however could compare with the time spent in Old Lyme at White Sand Beach where he and his family enjoyed spending their summers for fifty-six years. He was an avid Yankee fan and a devoted follower of UCONN men and women's basketball. Al is survived by his wife of sixty one years Mary (Campagnano) Berarducci, three sons Dr. Albert Jr. (Bert) and his wife Susan Berarducci of Upper Arlington, Ohio, Joseph Berarducci of Farmington and David Beraducci of Boston, MA; his sister Annmarie Berarducci of Plainville, two grandchildren Jennifer Berarducci and Thomas Berarducci and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brothers Andrew, Peter, John and Frank and his sister Lucy. Funeral services will be held Saturday 9:00 A.M. from the Farrell Funeral Home 110 Franklin Sq. New Britain with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 A.M. at our Lady of Mercy Church, Plainville. Burial will follow in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Plainville. Visitation will be Friday from 4:00 to 7:00 P.M. The family would like to thank Vilma Cooper from Companions and Homemakers who cared for Al at home, for her compassion and unending devotion as well as the staff of the Farmington Care Center for the kindness and comfort they provided Al during his stay here.
