Dear Sitar Family:
I am sorry for your loss. As my boss Alex was very kind to me in a situation where frankly it would have been easy not to be. He clearly had kind and generous spirit. I know he loved you all very much.

Alex,
May the Lord bless you and keep you in His loving care.
My deepest condolences to the whole Sitar family. Although it is difficult, I thank the Lord that we had chance to know Alex at least for a while, the always dedicated and proud father, loving husband, boss and a friend. My prayers are with you all.

So sad to hear about Alex. He was my boss and friend. I enjoyed sitting at lunch with him in the cafeteria and chatting. A great boss, a great man, and an awesome father.
