I hadn't heard from Alex in a long time, I called and received no answer. I am so saddened by the news of his passing. Alex grew up with my Dad, Gordon Kappes, who passed in 2000. Alex lost that day his bestfriend. He use to tell me all the time. Alex and my Dad talked on the phone for hours, sometimes reminiscing about their youth, cars etc. They would meet each other for breakfast, both would drive a half hour each way along I-4, spend a couple hours together to drive home in opposite directions. I lost contact with Alex, a few years ago, I am deeply saddened by his passing, our family had many fond memories of Alex, those of which will never be forgotten. RIP

Thank you, Alex for all you did for us and for your wisdom, experience and guidance. I hope we made you feel like one of the family, you certainly were a big part of our lives. Dennis learned so much from you and we will always have wonderful memories of time spent with you. Wishing you the blessed peace you deserve.
