A couple of co-workers and I were talking about just Alex last week. He is thought of often, and is missed greatly by everyone who had the pleasure of working with him. I'm glad that I got the opportunity to work with him in-person when I was in Houston. I sincerely hope that time and good memories have provided some comfort to you all over the years.

Dear Ana, Fredrico and family,
I think about your family and Alex often. He was such a big part of our lives for so many years. As I reiminise about those days it is always with Alex here, dragging in treasures in the golf cart, building some unknown thing, picking up stray animals, being a friend to our son and part of our family. I pray that God continues to comfort you at this time and through the years. Alex will always be remembered and missed.
