Although I did not know Alex, I do know his son, David. Knowing David and the wonderful caring young man he is speaks volumes about his father. I hope that the family will be able to celebrate and remember all good times they shared with their father, husband, brother, sister, grandfather..., and know that he will always be with each of you; wanting you to live, love and enjoy each and every day to its fullest. With warmest sympathy.

We will miss Alex very much. He was a strong man and lent a great deal of support to us during difficult times. We thank God for having the opportunity to know Alex. My family and I were so happy that he was cared for so wonderfully during these last months of his life. God bless Mrs. Sweeney and Alex's whole family for all that they did to comfort him before his death. We will continue to keep you and Alex in our prayers.
Our sincerest condolences during this time of sorrow.
