Alejandro was known for his infectious laughter, kindness, and his willingness to extend a helping hand. He had a remarkable ability to build, create and fix just about anything, and was the person everyone could count on. He was also an avid gardener who took great pride and joy in sharing the fruits of his labor with all his friends and neighbors.
