Alex had an extraordinary love for music. I remember when he'd give Shannon components for the perfect stereo. Each piece making it more fantastic...receiver, dual cassette player, equalizer, 6-DISC player, and top notch speakers! I spent hours of my youth sitting in front of that stereo built from love. We didn't live in front of screens back then. We lived our lives through music, and Alex gave me a greater appreciation for what good music was suppose to sound like. He had a great soul. I will put on my beats, and sing a little louder for him.

Whenever Alex would stop by my office, we would have the most incredible conversations about sales, real estate, Nancy, the kids, and dogs....dogs...dogs...! And horrible, groaner jokes. I'm sure that heaven is groaning now with all the Oly and Sven jokes he's sharing. My favorite memory of him is the gift he left on my desk when I first started my insurance agency with State Farm: it was a brightly wrapped shoe box that contained a can of Coca Cola and an individual size bottle of rum....he figured that there would be a day that it would come in handy at 5pm when the office closed. He was so right!!! LOL. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. Alex was a very special person to everyone who knew him. Lynn Malayter

Rest in peace my friend Alex # 2. We had many good times and lunches over the years. Nancy, my condolence. Liz (Betty) Endres Swiggum

Alex was a loving "oompa" to Thomas and Alexander and they provided him with much joy. He was also a kind soul and embraced the love of Nanci, Shannon , her husband Tony, and Scott .Alex also enjoyed the social times with his extended family. On a lighter note, all of us who knew him, would have to agree, that he "could talk the leg off of a three-legged stool." Rest in Peace, Alex. Jerry and Bonnie Kleczka
