Not sure what to say?

It's been more than a decade and I can still hear the wisdom of this wonderful soul whisper in my ear... Alex is/was a phenomenal friend, and the blessing of our paths crossing is truly a Godsend. Thank You Alex, for being my Friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Alex was a great man, and he will be missed. I know you will be comforted by wonderful memories of him.

Dearest Penny, Frances, Alexandra, & David…

Alex was husband and father to you, a brother to some and a friend to many. His heart was at a depth that knew no end. There are not many folks I can call on that are as dependable as Alex, to me he was closer than most family members. His unique insightfulness and respectful manner is impactful on my life and I have learned by observing him how to handle most difficult situations. His legacy proves to be one of integrity, honesty,...

Dear Penny, Francis, Alex and Dave,
So very sorry to hear of Alex's passing. Although, I never got to meet him, I could tell through your correspondence over the past years that he was truly a man who loved his family. You are in my prayers especially as this Christmas season is here. I love you, Penny, you have always held a special place in my heart. Hoping to keep in touch with this new year. Praying for God's peace to settle on your hearts and grace and strength for the days to come....

Dear Aunt Penny, Frances, Alexandra, and David

The biggest passion i have in my life is guitar and I can owe it to him for teaching me how to use the pen and paper to express myself. I can remember the first time i played infront of him he said "well stick with it, you wont get any girls playing the piano, cause the chicks dig the guitarist." At the time I was 12 and i laughed, a couple years later after playing for hours a day i developed a passion for the instrument it became a...

Dear Penny, Frances, Alexandra and David, I was so saddened to hear about Alex's passing. I worked with him at our family's store, Paul's Arts and Crafts where he was a genuine professional, hard worker as well as a good friend to all. We shared many laughs! He taught me so many "tricks of the trade" around custom picture framing, as well as gourmet cooking. (garlic in everything!) Actually now that I think back, Alex could do about everything. As they say a jack of all trades! He often...

To my Aunt Penny and Cousins Francis, Alexandra, and David,
Even though I did not spend much time with my Uncle Alex, I knew he was talented, funny, and a very deep guy. Without his influences, my brother and I would not have many musical attributes. Uncle Alex was/is an amazing musician, poet, and artist. At the memorial, my Aunt had all of his work on display. I was astounded by the amount of work he put into art. I had no idea he was so philosophical and different from so many...

To My Dear Friend Penny & Family,

When you first met Alex you were so smitten by him. Who was this man who had captured your heart so completely. I was eager to meet this man who gave relationships a whole new meaning in your search to find happiness. As we trudged through the snow on your wedding day I knew you were marrying your soul mate. A man who truly understood and loved you. I know that you, Frances, Alexandra and David brought him great joy and happiness. Alex gave...

I worked with Alex at Paul's Arts and Crafts for many years. We shared many laughts and I will always remember the stories he told us about California. He was very wise and witty. He often spoke of his family and shared the latest update about Alexander (Tottie), Francis, and David. You just knew he loved his family by the way his eyes lite up when he mentioned their names. He was totally dedicated to wife Penny and his children. He added zest and flavor to the working atmosphere in the...
