Alex had the best personality, caring, and a hard working person. I will never forget the day Alex and Mary came to visit me at the office. He surprised me with his presence and it was the best feeling that he took the time to come visit with me that day

Dane and I remember Alex fondly from school years and playing sports with our boys. After graduation we saw him at a restaurant where he was working. He came to take our order but we didnt recognize him. He told us who he was and when he smiled, I could see it was him. He had transformed into such a handsome young man. I will keep this memory in my heart. Rest In Peace Alex
