Uncle Alex

In very sad news, I have to write about another unfortunate passing. My Uncle Alex passed away on his 90th birthday. Uncle Alex was my father's mother's sister's husband. He was also the grandfather to Ashley. A fiery Irishman with a quick smile and wonderful jokes. A wonderful husband and father, including being a surrogate father at times for my own dad. One of the best cribbage players I know.

He was a soldier in World War II, fighting right up through Italy. Because of his toughness and bravery, I am able to enjoy freedom. Thank you for that, Uncle Alex. Your life helped millions.
