Albert J. Breneisen, of Oyster Bay, New York, and Singer Island, Florida, entered into eternal rest on April 1, 2026. He was 91 years of age.

Born in Brooklyn, Albert was a man of keen intellect. A graduate of New York University, he went on to earn his Juris Doctorate from Fordham Law School. For many years, he was a distinguished practitioner of Intellectual Property Law as a partner at Kenyon & Kenyon LLP in Manhattan, where he was held in high esteem for his brilliance and professional integrity.

While his career was marked by excellence, his greatest devotion was to his family. He was the beloved husband of Helen (née Sabalja) for 66 years. Together, they enjoyed a life of travel and laughter, rooted in a deep and abiding love for one another.

Al is survived by his wife, Helen; his grandchildren, Jessica, Dennis (Elisha), and Alexandra; his great-grandchildren, Ava and Jaxon; and his brother, Bill. He now joins his beloved daughter, Helen, and granddaughter, Dana, who predeceased him.

Friends and family may call on Thursday, April 9, from 3:00–5:00 p.m. and 7:00–9:00 p.m. at the Francis P. DeVine Funeral Home, 293 South St, Oyster Bay, NY.

Lucille Maffei passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 2, 2026, just weeks after her 91st birthday.

Lucille was a vivacious woman who had a true love of life. Born to Vito and Josephine Piccininni (nee Cazzarini) in New Jersey on March 11, 1935. She was their second child after her brother Bartholomew. The family lived in multiple locales in New Jersey and Brooklyn before settling in Corona, Queens, where Lucille graduated from Newtown High School in 1953.

After marrying the accordionist Victor Maffei in 1956, Lucille was a resident of Bayville, Locust Valley, Laurel Hollow, and Oyster Bay.

Lucille was the model "1960s homemaker" creating a warm, loving home for her husband and two sons. At the same time, Lucille was constantly engaged and involved with multiple pursuits and avocations. She was passionate about orchids and for decades raised hundreds of different specimens in her greenhouses in Locust Valley and Laurel Hollow. She participated in many plant shows and competitions, with the family playroom becoming more and more adorned with ribbons and awards she received for her prize-winning orchids.

Deeply involved in her community, Lucille was a long-time member of the Locust Valley Women's Club, and later elected President of the Locust Valley Garden Club and the Matinecock Orchid Society. A seasoned bridge player, she hosted frequent bridge luncheons poolside at her home every summer.

Lucille was an ardent lover of opera, and was admired for her beautiful singing voice. She performed with Long Island's Lyric Opera Company, and frequently attended performances at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City with her sons. Lucille frequently sang with her bandleader husband Victor, entertaining at affairs and club dates.

Lucille was a fine swimmer, as well as an avid bowler who competed in leagues for many years. She and her sons Eric and Glenn ice-skated regularly at Roosevelt Field and Rockefeller Center.

Two-week winter vacations with her husband and the boys were a family high-point each year. Later, Lucille and Victor traveled extensively, together visiting five continents.

Lucille spent her final years living serenely at the lovely Christian Fellowship House in Syosset, as did her husband Victor.

Lucille is survived by her sons Eric and Glenn. She is predeceased by her husband Victor, her brother Bartholomew, and partners Michael Scicutella and Tony Scali.
