David Alfano ’80

DAVID ALFANO, Melrose, MA, died April 12, 2023. After graduating from Saint Michael’s with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, David became a master automotive technician, working for Acura of Peabody for many decades. He received multiple recognitions for his technical expertise and excellence over the years and was named Acura’s most valued automotive technician on the East Coast. He never hesitated to help out and go the extra mile for anyone in his field of work and personal life. He had a keen and curious mind for how things worked and for problem solving. He loved Cape Cod, fishing, and boating, and he traveled widely across Europe and the Caribbean. Cooking was a true passion. His barbecues and smoked meats were unrivaled; his French bouillabaisse and Italian calzones were classic. Later in life, David volunteered at My Brother’s Table, which gave him great joy and a way to give back to those less fortunate. He is survived by his daughter, son-in-law, grandchild, siblings, and extended family.
