The Chief Albert J. Lilly Law Enforcement and Military Memorial Scholarship Established by Lesley and Kevin Lilly, class of 1978, in loving memory of Chief Albert J. Lilly
Albert (Al) Joseph Lilly was born in 1918 in an Irish Neighborhood in the Bronx NY and attended Catholic Schools in New York City. His family had immigrated to the city and eventually built the largest meatpacking company in New York.
Ever the adventurer Al, as a young man in 1940, took off with a friend, Billy Benedetti, to Africa to shoot photos for World Book Encyclopedia. In 1941 they were still in Africa when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Not wanting to miss out on the fight, Lts. Lilly and Benedetti joined with the British Army in North Africa as American Volunteers. As such, they were one of the first Americans to fight the Nazis in WWII. Tragically, Billy was killed, and his death, which was witnessed by Al, convinced him to dedicate his life to service. He returned home where he met his wife of over 50 years, Rose Mugavero, and together they had 5 children including Kevin (Antonian '78)
His subsequent military career included Korea, service under President Eisenhower as head of Air Force Security, and then head of US Security Forces in Vietnam. At the conclusion of his long Military Career, Al came to Antonian to teach history, then later to serve as Dean of Boys. He stayed on until taking the position as Chief of Police for Universal City Texas in 1976, where he served until just before his death in 1996.
Al was an avid reader, historian, and die-hard Dallas Cowboy and New York Yankee fan, switching to the Houston Astros in his later years.
