To Alex's family and friends -

Please accept the sincere condolences of my husband and I on Alex's passing.

My sister Frances is the widow of Alex’s brother, Ben. The brothers had such a stirring military past, and it was wonderful to see their stories recounted in the USA Today article—a fitting tribute to five of our country’s military heroes. We are all so very proud of all of them.

May fond memories of joyful times help alleviate your grief. Know that...

I wanted to thank the entire Hewko family for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of Alex Hewko’s ceremony. My self and 4 other members of Patrol Squadron Sixteen (VP-16) were honored to perform the P-3 flyover during your Alx Hewko's ceremony. After researching this amazing American hero, I truly feel that this flight may have been the most rewarding flight I have ever experienced in the Navy. And thanks to Alex, I was able to perform it in a P-3. I am very sorry for your lose and hope...

My deepest condolences on the loss of your father, Alex. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Eric, Al, and Rob- On behalf of Danny Gadarian please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your Dad. No words can begin to beguile the sense of loss that you feel. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

Always-
Ray Melee

Eric, Al, and Rob,

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I remember meeting him in Gainesville when he and your mom would come to visit everyone at UF. He was a great guy and was so proud of you guys!

My father died last year. Your Dad will be in your heart forever. He is your "real hero"!

You're all in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Sincerely,

Jimmy Phillips

Dear Aunt Barb, Jon, Bunny, Eric, Vanessa, Alex, Rob, Colin, Katie, Adam, April, Heather, and Hillary,

We are so sorry for the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. It's just so hard to believe he's not with us anymore. Being the oldest son in the family, he was always looked up to as the head of the Hewko clan.

We know what you're going through right now, as it was so hard going through it with my dad too. You just have to keep remembering all the good times...

To: Aunt Barbara
Alex, Eric/Vanessa, Jon Scott/Bunny, Robbie
and the grandchildren:
Adam, April, Colin, Heather, Hillary, and Katie

My thoughts are with you as you say Goodbye to
your Husband...
your Father...
your Grandfather...
your Friend...

I understand that sense of numbness,
of pondering and reflecting a great many decades of time and memories.

There is grief.

There is sadness.

There...
