Alfred A. Freytag: 1929 - 2019 Alfred A. Freytag, a longtime resident of Bayport and formerly of Brooklyn and Levittown, died July 1 after a long illness. He had just celebrated his 90th birthday with his family on June 14. “Al” was a 4th degree member and former trustee of the Knights of Columbus Patchogue 725. He remained active in the K of C until Doris, his wife of 68 years, became sick. He was a devoted husband and caretaker to Doris and a beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Al enjoyed music, especially that of the 1930s and 1940s when he was growing up in Brooklyn. He was also an avid bowler and participated locally in a senior citizen league. He was a fan of old-time westerns and baseball (let’s go, Mets!) and relished entertaining family and friends with his jokes, most of which were actually funny. He loved to make us laugh. But above all, he adored his family, and he went to great lengths to ensure their well-being. He was a great father to his two children, Susan Perretti of East Setauket, and Thomas, of Bayport. When Tom was small, Al coached his Little League baseball team. He was a caring, giving man who also fought for what he believed in. An insurance adjustor and later executive for the Republic Insurance Company, he served in the New York National Guard, from which he was honorably discharged in 1951. In addition to Doris, Susan and Thomas, he is survived by a sister, Joan Backofen of Syosset; daughter-in-law Alison; son-in-law Charles; four grandchildren, Meaghan Mauro of Bayport, Gregory Kane of Denver, CO, Brittany Freytag of Bayport and Kaitlyn Yesalonis of Patchogue; and three great-grandchildren, Justin and Hailey Mauro and Ethan McGaughran. Visiting will be at Robertaccio Funeral Home on Friday, July 5, 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on Saturday, 9:45 a.m., at Our Lady of the Snow R.C. Church in Blue Point. Interment will be at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale.
