You will always be in our hearts. Now you’re in heaven where you are free if the restraints of this world. Enjoy your new adventure in heaven with Jason,Mother, Daddy, and Roger.
We will all be with you soon. Check on us now & then. I love you so very much my big brother.
Alex, thank you for the fond memories especially those times we spent working on cars together (yes, you did most the work because you were much more skilled than I to say the very least).
Most memorable was when you mentioned tuning the carb on my ’57 Chevy. Okay.
Then you proceeded to disassemble the carburetor and dump some 120 parts into a bucket of solution. I thought I was in big trouble once I had to explain to my parents that my 17 y/o buddy has taken it apart as I held a bucket of parts in hand.
Oh, ye of little faith as Alex quickly reassembled and installed the carb with no left- over parts. AMAZING! You were a mechanical genius my friend.
I enjoyed our friendship as youths as well as our recent FB communications.
I’ll miss you. May you rest in peace with our heavenly Father.
Yogi and I became friends via Facebook and shared exchanges almost daily. He was a a proud dad, grandfather, patriot and friend. I know that Yogi was a good man and I will miss him.
Rest peacefully sweet friend. I know that you are wrapped in the arms of our Lord.

Condolences and prayers for Alex and his family.
