He was just that kind of guy, always happy go-lucky, always smiling and full of jokes, he loved to pull pranks. God Bless our friends and neighbours for being there for us during his illness. He was deeply grateful to them all for their help. Alex would like you to remember him as he was and asks that this poem be included for you all. To My Friends When I quit this mortal Shore, And mosey around this earth no more. Dont weep, dont sigh, dont grieve, and dont sob, I may have struck a better job. Dont go and buy a large "Bouquet" For which youll find it hard to pay. Dont stand around looking blue I may be better off than you. Love Alex Thank you to all the staff on 3E for all their wonderful care and compassion. Cremation has taken place and at Alexs request no funeral will be held. However a private family burial will take place at a later date. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations can be made to Concordia Hospital; it would be appreciated if you so desire. "I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, JUNE" WE LOVE YOU GRANDPA: CHRIS, TRISHA AND SCOTT Arrangements entrusted to: VOYAGE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIAM 220 Hespeler at Henderson Hwy. 668-3151
