John Aliberti was a staple in Bethpage. He could go into any store and be greeted and welcomed as a friend by almost everyone.

He was the unofficial mayor of Bethpage.

He passed at the age of 98 on Saturday the 19th of March, 2022.

He spend many hours at the park only an eighth of a mile from his home on 5th street.

Let us rename the park in his honor.

John was a legend in this town. Really sad he is gone but this would be a perfect way to keep his memory alive.

As a fellow New Yorker who comes from an Italian family transplanted to NY directly from Italy and because I knew Papa from most my life this is very important to me. He was a great man and it would mean so much to have his little piece of heaven on earth named after him
