Kuya Alex, a gentle soul and a kind spirit! You unselfishly shared your wisdom in bowling. I will be reminded of you when I hit strikes and spares! Bowling will be different without you, remember that I always teased you everytime you arrived late at the alley, and then you will smile and say "napuyat sa basketball game". I will miss you. Rest now kuya.
