Alfred J. Inzerra, age 93, of Bridgeport, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at the Jewish Senior Services Center. Born in Bridgeport on April 1, 1925, He was a son of the late Guiseppe and Concetta Montalbano Inzerra.

He graduated from St. Augustine’s School and Bassick High School.  During World War II, Al served in the Merchant Marine and survived the sinking of his ship by a U-Boat during a convoy to Russia.  He was a hard worker who owned and operated two businesses, a Texaco gas station in Bridgeport and the Discount Tire Center in Black Rock. 

Most of all, Al loved his gardens.  He always had a beautiful flower, fruit and vegetable garden, especially growing and nurturing his orchids and fig trees. He was a kind and gentle man and a friend to all who knew him.
