extremely disciplined and hard-working man. He instilled 
the value and pride of hard work in his family. Al started 
work in the timber industry and ended his career in law 
enforcement. Al was born and raised in Weed, Calif., to 
Italian immigrants, Roberto and Eliza (Grazzi) Bianconi. 
He was employed by the Shasta County Sheriff's 
Department, where he met and married a local girl, Marjie 
Ann Pastorino. They moved to Klamath Falls where he was 
hired on with the Klamath Falls Police Department. He 
retired from law enforcement with the state of Oregon. Al 
was a proud Korean War veteran. He was a wonderful 
grandpa and he loved his family, hunting, fishing and 
travel. We will miss him very much. Please send 
remembrances to Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
