Alexander was a supervisor at Old Colony Envelope in Westfield for many, many years along with completing Heating and Air Conditioning school. Alexander was a talented and multi-skilled man. He enjoyed fishing, visiting the shooting range, fixing what needed to be revised at home, but above all, he loved spending time with his family. Alexander was always willing to lend a helping hand to those around him and did so with a smile on his face. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 50. After struggling with this disease for six years he devastatingly passed from a heart attack. He will be forever missed by his family and friends.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
