Alexander Gubbiotti Obituary
He was born Feb. 20, 1960, in Kingston, the son of the late Frank and Rose Marconi Gubbiotti.
Alex was a member of St. Barbara Parish of St. Anthony of Padua Church, Exeter, and was a 1977 graduate of Wyoming Area High School and attended Luzerne County Community College.
He worked as an independent owner operator in the trucking industry for many years and belonged to the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association.
His passion was attending concerts and being on the road behind the wheel of his Peterbilt along side his trucking buddies. He valued his many loyal friends immensely and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in their time of need. He had a great sense of humor that would light up a room and will be greatly missed by everyone who loved him.
He was preceded in death, in addition to his parents, by his beloved nephew, Ryan Jones, in October 2011.
Surviving are his sisters, Marilyn A. Gubbiotti, Exeter; and Diane Dirhan, West Pittston; brother, Frank and his wife, Linda Gubbiotti, Falls; nephews, Brett Jones and Frank Gubbiotti; nieces, Dara Dirhan and Maria Gubbiotti; and aunts, uncles and cousins.
Relatives and friends are invited to visitation from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Gubbiotti Funeral Home, 1030 Wyoming Ave., Exeter.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 9:30 a.m. Thursday at St. Barbara Parish at St. Anthony of Padua Church, 28 Memorial Ave., Exeter.

The odd's of finding a true friend such as you is staggering. In human form, you were like no other man I've met before. You made others laugh when they felt like weeping. I've watched you lift the spirits of others when they were feeling low. I have witnessed you extend your kindness and compassion to complete strangers. And that was you as a mortal. I can't imagine what Heaven has in store for you. May Jesus hold you close to his heart and offer you great comfort just as you practiced and demonstrated his very teachings. On behalf of my wife and I, we love you Ollie!

I am so glad you list him as "Ollie". That goes back to I would say 4th grade at least! I used to see Ollie on his Kawasaki or latest cycle at the Salerno/Culver farm many a summer and we graduated together in 1978. I am very shocked at his passing; he was full of life. My condolences to all family members and all who were blessed to have been close to him.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
