We were best of friend in the early years.  Your passion for life and compassion of others ruled. Our times at Nassau Community College and beyond left a embedded foot print on my soul. Over the years I searched social media in hopes to reconnect one day. My friend I finally found you. My heart has sank over your passing. I know the rainbow bridge is a much better place having you. Those left behind miss you but are better for having known you. Blessings to your family and loved ones. I only wish we could reminisce  over a walk on the beach or ride in the row boats off of the South shore. Good times my friend that will never be forgotten . The search is over but the memories will be for ever. 

Paul Hubert

Alex, 1 month ago today you were taken from us and you will be missed by so many of us way longer than your 48 years plus with us. We will be going to Brooklyn with your family& the Ciotti family for a feast. I promise that your children and wife will eat well and laugh a lot.

A month that makes you go left but your soul is not gone, your beautiful smile is present in our hearts, you will always be in the breeze that caresses the soul of your beloved Mother, your dear sister, your beloved spouse and children who loved those with all your heart, rest in peace my dear Alexito.

Thoughts of Alex bring a smile. He had such charisma and was so fun-loving. A bright light that will continue to illuminate in the hearts of his family and friends.

Dear Joseph is very difficult to go through those feelings, but rest assured that your father from the heaven is leading as it did on earth and the most sublime and true is that when you're in need think about your daddy and see it your way will open to you for your success in life, I'll always be here for whatever you need do not hesitate to find me, I love you all a hug your mommy to Anthony and Sarita.

Joesph, Beautiful words and your Dad is proud to hear you express yourself...you have been prepared for life way beyound your young age by your Dad ...please give Mom, Anthony and Sara a long close hug from me...missing my friend a lot...PJP

I am shocked to hear about Alex. He was my sales partner at Lilly. I learned much from him professionally and he helped me, a suburban PA girl learn the NY ropes. I still hear his voice in my head and remember funny things like his driving and parking skills and of course, his zest for food and wine. He was a great listener and had a huge heart. And was always talking about his beloved family. Alex, may your soul rest in peace, and to his family, I wish you all strength and comfort in the days and months to come.

Dear Clara you did the man who was Alex, to be noble, affectionate, full of values??, from heaven He will take care of you as well as it did on earth. Katia, Keylin, Mela and children also have an angel that loved and cared for ever. A prayer is the best gift you can offer him for eternal rest. We never been forgetten your beautifull smile , we love you  dear ALEXITO....Olga Teresa, Walter and family.

My deepest sympathy to your family and this sad time . As a pharma colleague of Alex, I admired his mastery of the human connection. He was a master salesman with a zest for living . I am so shocked and saddened to learn of his untimely passing .. Wishing you comfort in your memories .. Madelyn Etkind

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
