John E. Alire

Coach Alire is what everyone referred to as. He was tough love person, and he made the best of ourselves. We will never forget YOU!

Been 6 Years Since Your Passing & There Isn´t a Day That Goes By That I Don´t Think of U! Good Times

A good man, I have fond memories of John from high school, you will be missed, Coach.

Success is to be measured not so much by the
position that one has reached in life as by the
obstacles which he has overcome!
You brought so many success in your Lifetime... ~RIP~

You never demanded respect-your presence did. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

My sympathies to your family on the loss of your patriarch and my beloved Coach. Sometimes God puts someone in your life to change your direction, and to guide you down the right path. Coach was that person to me. I will forever hear "FLEA!" and his whistle when I start to veer from the path.

May God Bless you all! I know his X-Country and Track girls loved him so much. He will be deeply missed....

Dear Alire Family,
Coach Alire was my teacher and coach at Mid High School, and I've not forgotten him over the past 50 years. He has remained a permanent guide post in my life, especially in issues related to ethics. He stood for clear thinking, clear communication, and positive result, without exception. Teachers like Mr. Alire, represent the true meaning of education, giving positive examples of action, and good behavior.
His emulation has lasted me all of my work life, and this is...

Will never forget Mr. Alire Had him at Mid-High Downtown. He taught me a lot and gave me good advice. I stayed out of trouble because of him. Thank You!!
