Just drove by the house that Alex lived in while he went to West Valley schools. Mentioned to my wife what a great guy he was and since she graduated from West Valley one year ahead of us she did remember him. Alex was a great classmate and he has been missed by many. Memories are for remembering.

Alex and I were classmates since grade school. A genuine person. My wife and I live in the Pasadena Park area and walk by Alex's house where he grew up quite often. Brings back a lot of memories of our younger years. Wish he was still with us.

Alex and I were classmates from the days at Pasadena Park grade school through West Valley High School. Alex was respectful of all his peers and always seemed to have a smile on his face. So sorry to hear about his passing.
