My Deepest condolences to Andrew and your family. I have had the honor to work with Alex for over 20 years. He was an expert in his field and never hesitated to resolve any type of problem. He will always be missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex for the 9 years I've been at Jacobs.  Working closely with him on projects such as the Ohio River Bridge, Florida I-4, and California High Speed Rail, I've learned so much from him over the years including a bunch of Microstation tips and tricks that I've continued to pass along to the interns.  Alex was always willing to help or answer any questions, and always with a smile on his face.  If there were ever any problems that needed to get solved, he never gave up until he came up with a solution.  Patient, kind, and dependable, he will be greatly missed!

I have known Alex since he started working at Edwards and Kelcey.  He was the consummate professional.  He did phenomenal work, quietly working in the background, making the company look great to the client.  Regardless of the challenge, he understood what was needed…always positive, always confident, always delivering.  I was so looking forward to working with Alex on our next project starting in the new year.  He was the best of the best: dedicated, competent, tireless, dependable and an overall great person.  I am so saddened by his passing.  My deepest sympathies to his family and friends; I hope you find peace and strength in the days ahead.  I am happy to have known him; may he rest in peace.    Michael Kennedy, Jacobs

My deepest condolences to Andrew, your Mom and the entire Family. I had the pleasure of working with both you and your Dad. Alex was a great guy. He will be missed. Sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry to hear of Alex’s passing.   I worked with Alex for over 20 years since the first day I walked in the door in 1999 at Edwards and Kelcey/Jacobs.  He taught me a lot of things along the way and always with a smile.  I always told him he was a guru at his craft (he was) and he would laugh and calmly deny any part of that.  He was an expert at making things look perfect and figuring out problems.  Alex was always willing to go the extra mile to get projects done, help wherever he could and he was a great colleague and friend.  Sending my very best and deepest condolences to his family.  He will be greatly missed. 

Alex was always so friendly and seemed to genuinely care how others were doing. He was a warm person and had a kind heart. I had the pleasure of working with Alex for four years in NYC, and he will be missed. 

It was a pleasure to work with Alex. I will always remember his warm good morning greetings and smile.


I was fortunate to work with Alex for three short years from 2018 to 2021.

Alex was always one of the first to arrive at the office.  I would come in around 6:30 and Alex was already there each and every morning.  A constant - like a clock.

He would ALWAYS  greet me with a “good morning” even though he knew I didn’t want to be greeted.  He did it anyway and it became something that bonded us.

Sometimes we would have way to much work to do and Alex would be clearly miserable about it but he and I would persevere through it.
We had a general understanding that work past 5 pm was off the table for him, but he would be good to go first thing in the morning.  “Just leave it on my table before you go home” he would say.

Alex was kind hearted and a good, upstanding  man.  He spoke of his family and his family parties glowingly. He was sensitive to others and often stressed about making sure the staff he managed had work and were properly cared for and treated fairly.

During the pandemic, times got tough with everyone working from home and Alex and his staff were struggling to find their place.  When remote work would come his way, he would always express his gratitude to me and kindly offer it to his staff -  Jose and Annette  -first.

My heartfelt condolences to the Chizhik family, Mrs  Chizhik, their children and grandchildren.

Co-worker and Friend,

Darin Melberger

My condolences to the family.  

I've had the pleasure of working with Alex for the past 8 years and he was always so kind.  Easy to talk to.  He will be truly missed.



We are so saddened by this news.  We will miss him dearly not only as one of the best co-worker to work with but as a person who cares about others.  I known him for over 30 years and I cannot believe I will not hear his voice anymore; but knowing him he will always be watching over us.

With our deepest sympathy,

Eddie and Connie Mon
