Gary moved to Brewster, NY in the 80's. He was divorced from his wife, Joanne, but they had 2 sons and a daughter together. He passed away in 2009 after a bout with cancer. He was always smiling and will be remember as a great guy. RIP Gary.

I had the pleasure of teaching Gary Alleva Jr. in kindergarten in Yonkers. What a delightfully intelligent child he was and his mom, Joanne . . . a lovely, caring lady and mother who I keep in touch with to this day!
