Longo, Alfred “Al”, 82, of Sun City Center passed away June 4, 2025, at HCA Florida South Shore Hospital. Raised in East Rockaway, New York, he graduated from Ithaca College and received his Master's degree from Hofstra University. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alphonse and Veronica Longo; and his sibling Edwina Heinser. Al is survived by his wife, Barbara; his daughters, Dina Hansen and Kim Longo Christel; sibling Marjorie Klein; and his two grandchildren.

Al was caring, giving, and thoughtful to all he met. He loved good food, golf, and traveling throughout his retirement. He was an accomplished professional musician who played with many famous people of his time, and a celebrated director of fine arts who advocated fiercely for the programs he oversaw. His warm smile and intellect will be remembered by those who knew him, and he will be greatly missed.

In accordance with Al’s wishes, there will be no services, but please visit the family’s personalized online guestbook located below (Tributes) to leave any kind words or remembrances.
