QUEENSBURY --- Allen Joseph Vigotty, of Queensbury, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones, on February 24, 2020 at the age of 84. He was cared for at his daughter's home by his loving family.

Allen is survived by his wife of 60 years, Agnes; his two daughters, Maureen "Vigotty" Pelchar (Mike) and Patricia "Vigotty" Lewis (Mark); five grandchildren, Krysta Kellegrew (Eric), Jenna Hunsinger (Bill), Katie Pelchar, Renée Lewis and Devin Lewis; and many friends and relatives, including his special sister in-law, Jean Mahar, and his best friend for many decades, Del Webster. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Emma (Dale) Vigotty; his brother, Joe; grandparents, Allen and Minnie Vigotty and William and Annie Dale.

Al was born on June 6, 1935, in Far Rockaway, NY. He graduated from St. Joachim's and St. Leonard's on Long island, NY. While in Korea, he served as an MP in the Army (after the war.) Al lived with his wife and children on Long Island until 1974, when they moved to Upstate New York. For many years, he worked for Hewlett-Woodmere School District and Lake George School District as a custodian, on the maintenance staff, prior to his retirement in 1992.

Al enjoyed spending time with his loving family and friends. He loved taking walks (especially with his grandchildren) and took pride in his Irish heritage and was a member of the Irish-American Club, along with the Queensbury and Lake George Senior Clubs. He also liked watching the Stock Market. He was a gifted storyteller and jokester and had a joke for every occasion; he had a gift of telling jokes using the dialect of the country the joke was about. Most of all, Al was a generous, kindhearted, and hardworking husband, father, Pa, and friend who will be greatly missed.
