Albert “Al” J. Petsy – (16 Nov 1928 – 30 Mar 2020) – Al Petsy was born in Canton, Ohio to the late Benny and Mary Baptist Petsy. After attending Canton South High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and was a veteran of the Korean Conflict.
Al worked for Ulano and SAATI as a Technical Sales Representative for over 50 years, traveling the world teaching, training, and being of service to screenprinters everywhere. His career with Ulano Corporation and SAATI took him around the world, teaching, training, and leaving a lasting memory on everyone he came in contact with.
Al eventually retired from Saati Americas, to spend time watching his grandchildren grow up with pride whether it was football games, softball games, ballet, cheerleading competitions or heavy metal concerts. He was a proud “Papa.”
A song from Al, (to the tune of Row, Row, Row your boat)
“Slow… Slow… Slow your coat,
Gently up the screen…
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Pinholes will be just a dream…”
