Salem, NH – Alfred V. “Al” Carbone, of Salem, NH, formerly of Woburn, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2025, at the age of ninety-two.
Born in East Boston to the late Vincent M. Carbone and Antonietta M. (Capone), Al was raised in Woburn and was a proud graduate of Woburn High School. From a young age, he developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors and especially loved hunting. He also cultivated a lifelong passion for photography, a talent that would become central to both his personal and professional life.
A true jack of all trades, Al had an inventive mind and was always creating, fixing, or imagining something new. Before beginning his lifelong work in public service, he honorably served in the United States Army and Merchant Marines, a chapter of his life he was deeply proud of.
Al dedicated many years to the City of Woburn as a firefighter, serving his community with courage, reliability, and quiet pride. Alongside his service, he worked for decades as a photographer for the Woburn Daily Times, capturing countless moments in the life of the city he loved so dearly.
He was the cherished father of Alan Carbone and his wife Jeanne of Salem, NH; Daniel Carbone and his wife Marianne of Danvers; Brian Carbone of Salem, NH; and the late Lynne Carbone. He was the dear brother of Janet Carbone of Maine and the late Peter Carbone and Vincent Carbone. Al was the adored grandfather of eleven and great-grandfather of eight, all of whom brought him tremendous joy.
A man of quiet warmth, devotion, and steady integrity, Al will be remembered for his love of family, his creativity and inventive spirit, his photographs that preserved the stories of his community, and his lifelong commitment to service.
