Palladino, Sr., who died in 1973.  Although the pharmacy closed in 1993, the Palladino family (Peter) ran a breakfast-luncheonette until 2012.  The Pharmacy & later the luncheonette were Broadway hallmarks & meccas for many of Revere’s “intelligentia” & politicians to have many a spirited debate.  “City Hall Pharmacy” was always community active & generous to the many organizations & charities that sought their help.  As a young man, Al developed a keen interest in aeronautics.  Al was proud to have built his own plane & obtained his license as a commercial Pilot.  His enthusiasm obviously influenced his son, Albert, to his career choice as a commercial Pilot.  Albert was the husband of the late, Elaine C. (Faulstick) Palladino, who died on March 25, 1992.  He is the devoted father of: Albert P. Palladino, a licensed commercial Pilot out of Anchorage, Alaska, & Alicia M. Palladino, R.N., a specialist in Oncology Nursing of Nashville, Tennessee.  He is the cherished brother to Peter A. Palladino & his wife, Judith L., of Revere.  He is lovingly survived by his longtime “Sweetie,” Linda M. Pennacchio, of Revere, the Pennacchio Family of Melrose & Reading, & also leaves many friends & colleagues.  He was also the brother of the late: George V. Palladino, Jr., Charles A. & Marilyn A. Palladino, R.N., & the son of the late George V. Palladino, Sr. & Albertina A. (Lanthier) Palladino.  Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.  In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the American Lung Association of MA, Inc., 460 Totten Pond Road, Suite 400, Waltham, MA 02451.
