Alex “Al” Anthony DeGeorgia, age 92 of Louisville, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, died peacefully on Wednesday, December 23, 2020 at The Gables of Canton with Marla, his loving wife of 60 years, by his side. Born in Canton on December 10, 1928 to the late Panfilo and Maria (Valentine) DiGiorgio, Alex was a 1946 graduate of McKinley High School.
