ALEC O'NEILL

March 25, 2023: Four years since so many of us lost a beloved friend, not to mention son, husband, uncle, et al. Alec´s memory is as bright & beautiful as he was in life. May we who loved him so dearly continue to keep his memory alive through the manner in which we conduct our lives; respect for our fellow citizens, acceptance & love. Oh Alex, now more than ever before, we need more like you in our world.

Three years later & dear Alec is as alive in my mind as he ever was here on earth. I miss his dear presence & playful spirit as much as ever. May his dear wife, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews & many loved ones find comfort this day & may we all be granted a peace that surpasses all human understanding.

I will do my best to 'pay it forward'. Miss you Al.

Alec was my beloved friend the last fourteen years. We met while working together at a local hospital. The words that best define Alec, from my perspective? Kind, compassionate, generous, non-judgmental and humble. To say the least, I had much to learn in the non-judgmental department, and over the years, he proved to be a good teacher and I an apt pupil. As a child psychologist, I shared my most challenging cases with Alec and he delivered much appreciated input. Recently he gifted me a...

I have taught at John Carroll for 26 years and I am not sure I have ever met a bigger heart than Al. I remember his humor, generosity and respect for me. He "gifted" me tickets to Indians, Browns, and send me a wood pen he made. I know he made a difference in the world.
