ALEX EMBRACED EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE FULLY. HE WAS FAMILY-ORIENTED, BIG- HEARTED, WITTY, AND STUBBORN. THE BEAT OF HIS OWN DRUM ALWAYS BOOMED LOUDER THAN ANY.

HE WAS DEVOTED TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS. NEE-NEE, TIKA, AND LEXI WERE HIS PRIDE AND JOY; AND HE PROTECTED THEM AND HIS GRANDCHILDREN LIKE A LION. FAMILY WAS HIS SAFE PLACE - MOM, HIS ANCHOR; DAD, HIS CONFIDANT; GINA, JAY, AND VICKI, HIS BEST FRIENDS, AND HIS RELATIONSHIP DIFFERENT WITH EACH OF THEM, ALTHOUGH HE WAS ALWAYS THE SAME.

ALEX LOVED A GOOD OUTDOOR BARBEQUE. ANY OCCASION, OR NO OCCASION, WOULD DO HIS JOY WAS IN SURROUNDING HIMSELF WITH LOVED ONES,SHOWING LOVE THROUGH HIS COOKING, FEEDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND OF COURSE, SHOWCASING HIS BULLDOGS GEAR HE ARRIVED AT EVERY FAMILY FUNCTION, HEAD-TO-TOE, ANNOUNCING HIS ARRIVAL WITH DEEP, CUTTURAL BARKING "RUI RUI RUE"
HE WAS AN AVID SPORTS FAN - LOVED SOFTBALL AND FOOTBALL. HE PLAYED WITH AND COACHED AN ADULT COMMUNITY-LEAGUE UNTIL HE BECAME TOO WEAK TO PLAY ONLY MONTHS BEFORE HIS PASSING.

ALEX WAS ALSO A PROUD MARINE, EVEN THOUGH HIS MILITARY CAREER WAS SHORT. HE ENLISTED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING HIS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION AND SERVED HIS COUNTRY FOR TWO AND ONE-HALF YEARS.
JUST LIKE HE BELOVED BULLDOGS, ALEX IS OUR CHAMPION AND WILL LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS AND MEMORIES THROUGH INFINITY. SEMPER FI, BELOVED FATHER, SON, BROTHER, GRANDFATHER AND FRIEND

Final Flight
