I went to Governor French with Alex-he was a year above me. Alex had such a unique presence in the classroom and was one of the kindest people I ever had the chance of meeting. I will always reflect on late-night conversations we had after school in the GFA parking lot. This is such a shock. I´m so sorry for everyone´s tremendous loss.

What a fine young man. After reconnecting after quite a few years I felt Alex was truly glad to see me when I visited Feldman's shop. He will be missed.

I'm completely heart broken I can't believe that it's actually true that your gone Alex. The reality is heart wrenching. I found out while sitting in county jail. And now im in in-patient rehab 18 days sober and not looking back whatsoever I was really looking forward in hopes of rekindling our friendship once I completed rehab......you were my brother man......through and through. Like blood i considered you family. You helped me so much in my dark times. You were always just a phone call...
