To the Fazzino Family - I worked for Alex my senior year in college as his aide in Jefferson City (for a college course.) What a gentleman and a kind, considerate man. He was truly my "father away from home" that semester. I loved him dearly and will miss him. Of course, I chose Alex as my "representative" to work for due to the fact that he was a friend of my father, Paul. I will always cherish knowing him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
