Boca Raton, FL- Allan Gentile, 76, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 22, 2023 surrounded by his family.

Born in Schenectady, NY on October 12, 1946, he was the son of the late, Alphonse and Hilda (Pizzone) Gentile.

Allan attended Mount Pleasant High School and graduated with a degree in Mathematics from Siena College.  He was hired right out of college by IBM and was employed there for over 30 years.  In 2003 he retired from IBM but continued consulting to keep his mind sharp.

In 1967, he was married to Suzette Sutherland.  The two had four children together and lived in Saratoga Springs for 35 years until Suzette's passing in 2003.  Al was lucky enough to find a second great love in his life, Kathy (Coughlin) Gentile.  Al and Kathy entered "Phase 2" of their lives together in Boca Raton, FL where they fully embraced their semi-retired life.  Al was an avid photographer and loved traveling the world with Kathy and his cameras capturing their travels together and creating slideshows.  You can see many of his prints proudly displayed in his home and he even had some of his work used by Nikon in their camera instruction books.  Al loved music but mostly Jazz music.  He was a lifelong drummer and played in many bands throughout his life.

Survivors include his wife, Kathy (Coughlin) Gentile; his children, Karen (Shelley) Gentile, Christopher (Carey) Gentile, Matt Gentile and Chad (Vanessa) Gentile; his step children, Jennifer (Bruce) Matzer and Brian (Erika) Coughlin; his 14 grandchildren, Brandon, Madeline, Emma, Piper, Josephine, Juliet, Harrison, Howard, Henry, Jacob, Joshua, Shannon, Amara and Kieran, all who brought him great joy; as well as his sister, Lissa (Edwin) Lake and his brother, Paul (Donna) Gentile and several cousins, nieces and nephews.
