Alex and his mom were wonderful neighbors on our short block of North Mason Ave. His dad grew amazing romaine lettuce in their spacious garden. Alex was very kind and always waved to us and our daughters. We enjoyed the Limoncello treat he made for us one of the holiday seasons. We were sorry to hear about his declining health. We are wishing his family and dear friends much peace and fond memories.

My dearest Cousin: You will be so missed, not only by me, but by so many. I can still remember the many hours you spent studying for Law School and the Bar, up in your attic room. Only poking your head out to say "Hello" to any visitors. You were determined and you succeeded. It wasn't easy working full time and faithfully looking after your Mom, Aunt Carmella, but you persevered. God bless you. Your determination lasted a lifetime, but eventually Al, we tire. I know you will be resting in God's arms since you lived as God would have wanted you to, always helping others. When you reunite with your loved ones, and maybe my family also, please give them a hug for me. Until we meet again...Love, Cousin Marie
