I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Alex. He was always such a funny and kind man, I wish I knew him at a better time. He will forever be one of my favorite people, always greeting me with a smile and telling me about his family. He truly loved all of you and I could tell it was returned endlessly.

I'm so sad to hear of Mr. Petone's passing. I'm so happy, I had the chance to get to know him, but not the greatest of times. He always made me laugh, no matter how he felt. He will always be one of my favorites.

So sorry to hear of Alex's passing! My Son played baseball for him for two years in the Bel Air travel program 25 years ago. I also helped coach on that team and it was the best time we had in baseball. Rest in Peace Coach.

In my 15 years of playing baseball, my most memorable team was the Bel Air "C" travel team. Coach Alex took a bunch of "cast-offs" and turned us into winners. We won more games that year than expected....but more importantly the baseball I learned from Coach Alex that year was immeasurable. Rest in Peace, Coach!
