My condolences to Carol, Angelena and all of Alex’s family. Alex had been one of my customers for many years prior to my moving to TN last year. It was always a joy working with Alex. He did a great job in his purchasing role and he was always ethical and fair. He was always so uplifting and open to a good joke. I think about Alex quite frequently and even this morning just a hour before I got the news he was on my mind. He will be greatly missed and I will keep him and all the family in my prayers.

Alex surely will be missed! Alex was fun while in high school and it was a privilege to reconnect with him as a board member for the Bradford Alumni Association. I am truly sorry for your loss. I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.He referred to the dates on his tombstone,from the beginning…to the end. He noted that first came the date of his birthand spoke of the following date with tears,but he said what mattered most of allwas the dash between those years. (Poem The Dash).
