We only had Alex in our lives for the last five years or so but the friendship, love and respect that has grown between us in those few short years is truly phenomenal. Our pride in the fact that he loved us and called us his friends knows no bounds. Our condolences go to his freinds as well as his family. We truly share a devastating loss.

Dear Alvin, Vern and Cheryl, I can remember all the good times we had as kids, building hay bail forts in the field next to us, sliding down the hill sides below us on card board boxes. But what I remember most about Alex, he was all ways yelling at us about some thing. But we new he had our backs if any of the other kids gave us trouble. Any way, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. especially Alex.

Alex was a special guy to me. He was my son-in-law at one time. I will be thinking of him tomorrow.

My deepest condolence to the family on this unfortunate and untimely death of Alex. I considered him a friend and someone who I knew and respected. Alvin, Vern and Cheryl there is no amount of words to describe the pain and sorrow you must have in your hearts, but my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sadness. We are all lucky to have been part of his life and the memories we have of Alex. I wished I could have ridden with him just once on my Harley because "Life is Good" when you're in the wind. It's been years since I've seen Alex but a man's character never changes and what I knew then will always be, ride with the wind my friend for you have surely earned your wings. And "Thank You" for your service to this great nation of ours!
