My condolences to the McCool family. Alex was a very nice kid. I remember sitting next to him in the lunch room at Riverside Elementary on Front St. from a very early age. He was always happy. I seem to recall that he and his dad would fish the Mohawk for Northern Pike and Muskies, if my memory serves me correctly. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

With sympathy and fond memories,
Dean Rocissono and family
