Seeing Alex’s smiling face this morning was a very pleasant and welcome reminder of a kind and gentle soul who touched on my life through PNC Bank and classes at Wilmington College. Death is a very strange phenomenon. It is hard to comprehend that this man who was such a bright light and positive presence is no longer physically here on this planet.
Rest in Paradise friend. Perhaps we will be reacquainted one day when I too am called Home. I think that would be a very pleasant reunion for sure!

Alex and my family have been neighbors for as long as I can remember. I worked with Alex at PNC Bank for many years. He always had a keen sense of humor and infectious laugh. So mild mannered and just easy going. I will miss seeing you giving out Halloween candy to my children ....as you had done so for many years. Just a wonderful human being you were. Gracious heart. Heaven has truly gained an angel. You will indeed be missed. Rest well my friend.

I had the true pleasure of knowing Alex from PNC Bank on Marsh Road and also sitting in classes with him at Wilmington College many years ago. What a sad shock to see that cheerful smiling face in the obituaries today. We have lost a delightful human being with a very kind soul.
May his family and all who know and love him be blessed by God's gifts of strength, comfort and consolation.
Rest in Paradise Alex. I hope to see you again one day when I am called Home too.
Sincere condolences,
Randy Huber
