I only knew Alex for a short time form the Spaulding Rehabilitation Nursing Home, I knew when I met him there was something special about him. He always had a joke to tell and was always very pleasant. I can't tell you how much I will miss his smiling face and his joke telling. My heart goes out to you and your family during this time.

Many condolences to the family, as another brave soldier goes to his reward in Heaven. Although we've never met, we're all part of the same extended family, as my dad, Lou, was also originally from Boston. I pray for your continued strength, and send along love and blessings.
