Not sure what to say?

He was an amazing engineer that could figure out anything.
He was so patient and kind with a very rambunctious young niece!
Our road trips always led to fun discoveries or lifelong anecdotes.
His goofy sense of humor could always make me laugh.
He was my North Star and my soul.
We all have a large hole in our heart, now.
Going to miss you, Unks! Rest well in God's arms.

Sending love and heartfelt condolences in the loss of Alex. I grew up with him in Michigan and have so many fond memories of that time and so appreciate that he kept in touch over the years.

First met Alex and Barbara, years ago, when they moved in next door. We all became friends almost immediately. Alex was always tinkering with something around the house. I do believe he could fix about anything. He was always willing to lend a hand and the stories he could tell, kept you captivated at all times. He was a good soul and I know he will be surely missed by many. RIP my friend,see you on the other side.

I met Alex and Barb several years ago when they moved next door to me. In an instant we became close and now are my extended family. Alex was always such a kind man. Willing to do what ever to help. One in a million!!! Even though over the years of moving around we always stayed in contact and remain just as close. I admired Alex for his service in the military and the sacrifice he made as a young man to serve his country to help keep the rest of us safe. He will forever hold a special place...

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
