Mr. Albert “Al” Cole, age 69, died from respiratory failure on Thursday, April 3, 2025
He was born in Cincinnati, OH on April 28, 1955, to the late Robert and RoseMarie (nee: Maxwell) Cole. On June 14, 1986, he married the former MaryEllen Wise.
Al worked as a machinist for 40 years at Thermal Transfer Products, retiring in 2018. He also sold “American Made” socks at Seven Mile Fair, did miscellaneous work for the elderly, and was the proud owner of Breaktime Vending until 2024.
Al’s absolute passion was motorcycle riding, with his “hair in the wind” during warm, and not so warm weather. He was just known by everyone as “good people”.
In addition to his loving wife, MaryEllen, he is survived by his mother RoseMarie; his children, Albert Cole Jr., Brenda Cole, and Brandon Cole; his brother-in-law, Tony Lopresti; his brother and sister-in-law, Scott and Cindy Wise; his mother-in-law, Judy Wise; and his grandchildren, Destiny, Heather, Haley, Jesse, Austin, Makayla, Kayden, and Sofia. He is further survived by his nephew and nieces, cousins, and many dear friends.
In addition to his father, Al was preceded in death by brothers Robert and Ray; sister Linda; stepfather Don; nephew Bobby, and his father-in-law, Chuck Wise.
