To fellow members of Sunrise-

This past Friday [2/25/2022] we lost Al Palumbo. I met Al about 15 years ago when I restarted playing table tennis competitively again. Al was instrumental as the founding father of Sunrise Table Tennis and took the club from one table and one location to over 30 tables and several locations. He also started the junior foundation at Sunrise that gave coaching and even scholarship money to young players. Al loved spreading the joy of the sport to others and was an incredible athlete. He competed in many senior games and won events in his age class. He transitioned to pickle ball so I didn’t get a chance to see him as often at the club playing. His presence and enthusiasm will be missed by all. He dedicated much of his efforts to Sunrise Table Tennis Club and for that we should all be grateful.
