After nearly 18 years working in service of Our Lady’s mission, Al Bucci has announced his retirement. We offer Al our deep appreciation, gratitude and congratulations.
Al has been an incredible member of the UR Development team. His kindness, leadership and team-focused approach will be missed. Al has developed strong relationships internally and externally with benefactors. His work has left a lasting positive impact at Notre Dame and with the students the University serves. He leaves this role feeling blessed for the opportunity to have worked at Notre Dame and grateful for all his friends and Development colleagues. His last official day will be August 31st.
A 1977 graduate of Notre Dame, Al walked on the football team and still claims he has eligibility left if only offenses would utilize the fullback. He met Marilyn, his wife and a 1978 St. Mary’s College grad, here. They have four children, two who graduated from Notre Dame.
He looks forward to writing more novels and “hanging out a bit.” He promises that whatever he does, it’ll be fun. He added, “I’ll be watching, too, as I know the development office will continue its great success.”
Thank you, Al for all that you have provided in service of Notre Dame for nearly two decades. We wish you all the best that life has to offer as you, literally and figuratively, write these next chapters.
CONGRATULATIONS, Al! You have been a true pleasure to work with and will certainly be missed. Hope to see your around every now and then. All my best to you always!
Wow, Al, congratulations and all the best to you and Marilyn as you embark on this next greatest adventure! Thanks for all of your leadership over the years!
Congratulations, Al! I have enjoyed working with you! Best of luck on your next chapter.
We will miss you, Al. You have been a great leader and resource for our team.
Al. Congrats on your retirement and the next chapter in this book we call life. I am glad I had the pleasure of getting to know you a slight bit.

Booch,
Congratulations on your retirement. I wish the best for you, Marilyn and your family in your next chapter of life. I look forward to that chapter being one that includes more time we can spend together like the old times in Flanner and on the ND gridiron.
Your a great Notre Dame man!
Al,
Congratulations on your retirement! You have always been such a wonderful colleague and friend. You will be missed!

Best wishes on your retirement, Al, and thank you for all you’ve done for Notre Dame!
