Alex, I will always remember your fatherly words and your sense of humor. You were terrific with that skull (John Borg's design) at the dinners...You made an impact on many lives, including many veterans. Now you will be among them full time.
Thank you.

Dear Aunt Rose and family
We will never forget Uncle Al and all he has done for us throughout the years. It was great living close by growing up and being able to visit when we were kids. I know I was never very good about that after you moved, but I asked Daddy about you often and it was good to see you at the family gatherings and occasionally talk on the phone.
Uncle Al had many physical problems over the years and you all had you hands full, we know. We hope now that he is at rest and watching over us with his brothers and parents, that you will
be able to socialize more and return to performing activities you haven't done for some time.
We love you all
