Alexander Accomando

(May 11, 1935 – October 24, 2026)

Alexander Accomando of Fairview N.J. passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at the age of 91.

A dedicated family man, the defining light of Al’s life was his 70-year marriage to his wife, Maryanne Accomando, who predeceased him in February of this year. Their partnership was a testament to enduring love, mutual respect, and a shared history that spanned over seven decades. To those who knew them, they were a singular unit: a true example of what "forever" looks like. Throughout their lives they remained a constant, inseparable team.

Al and his beloved wife, Maryanne, shared over 74 wonderful years together. They shared a passion for travel, embarking on countless adventures across the globe, domestic trips, and ocean cruises. Among all their travels, Paris held a special place in Al’s heart—a city that he and Maryanne returned to time and again to create cherished memories.

A proud and lifelong supporter of his local community, Al served on the Fairview Board of Education throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s. His devotion to public service was rooted in a genuine love for his hometown of Fairview, NJ, where he resided since 1943.

Professionally, Al built a distinguished, decades-long career in the paint and wallpaper industry. He served as General Sales Manager for General Wallcoverings until his retirement in 2002. He also served as a Director on the Board of GSL Bank for over 30 years up until the time of his passing.

Above all else, family meant the world to Al. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother-in-law, and friend. His gentle heart extended to animals as well, especially the many beloved cats that brought warmth and joy to the Accomando home over the years.

Al will be deeply missed by his two sons, Michael Accomando and Kenneth Accomando, as well as their respective partners, Linda Vangelakos and Jorge Barrieu. He will also be missed by his dearly cherished granddaughter, Emily Accomando, and by his beloved sister-in-law, Dottie Malick, and her husband, Mike Malik, whom Al loved like a son. Al is also survived by his beloved nephews, William Murray and Ronald Murray, the sons of Al’s sister Terry Murray, who predeceased him.

Al leaves behind an enduring legacy of integrity, service, lifelong love, and devotion to those he held dear.
