 Forever in my memory
by: Anika

Alex was my classmate in elementary school in Cliffside Park. Many of you wrote about how charming and unique this person was. The last time I saw him was 4th grade but even then he really was special. I actually had a crush on him. I still cant believe something so awful happened to someone so nice. Life is so unfair, this accident proves it. Alex, I havent forgotten You in all the years that have gone by and I promise that that will never change - I will always remember You. Bless your soul.

I would also like to thank the author of the story for being strong enough to write and publish this horrible story. I dont live in NJ anymore and this way I know exactly what happened. Thank You.

 ypu are missed
by: Anonymous

I remember the day that you died..that night & that whole week was the hardest in my whole life, You were such an amazing person and everyone misses you so much. You were so important.. I cry about you all the time and it never gets easier. What makes it worse is that what happened that night was avoidable.. you didn't' deserve to die, you deserved it the least. I wish i could go back in time and change it... your death is unfair but it has to be accepted even though I don't think i can ever do that.. it's too unreal. I miss you <3 n one will EVER forget you, see you soon but not soon enough.

 Hearts are broken - Alex is missed dearly
by: Anonymous

For those of you who didn't have the chance to meet Alex I want you to know that he was a very rare human being. From the time he was born Alex had a way about him that charmed everyone that came in contact with him. Alex was so full of love and life with his famous smile. Alex was always respectful to others and had a comfortable ability to communicate with people of all ages. Whenever I stopped by his home he would always take the time to say hello, sit and have a conversation with me and make me laugh. I always appreciated this quality of Alex - he made me feel special, this is something that many teens feel uncomfortable doing. Yes Alex was extremely handsome and a good athlete but most important Alex was beautiful on the inside. He was a gentle giant that wouldn't hurt a soul. It is so, so sad to see his loving family (Mother Susie, Father Mike, Sister Danielle, Grandma Carol, Grandma Koula, Uncle Richie, Uncle T, Aunt MaryAndrea, nieces, cousins, etc.) suffer his loss. Life has changed drastically in one early evening, July 3, 2007. I will never forget this day as long as I live. There is a feeling of emptiness that constantly haunts our hearts and minds. Life continues to pass. I hope we never forget what a terrible loss of life drunk driving and reckless driving can cause. Please pray for Alex and his Family everyday and everyday hug your child when they leave for school or social activities and talk to them ---- remind them about the dangers of reckless driving and drunk driving. Our children are young and fearless, they don't think this can happen to them. They will be tempted to drink, they may show off and drive recklessly - Please talk - talk - talk - and talk again to let them know that they can be the person responsible for taking the life of another individual and at the same time ruin their own life and future. Remember to pray for Alex and Everyone who was involved in that tragic accident.

Alex's Godmother

I was there. I was one of the rescuers getting people out of the car. It was an accident scene like no other. Who knows what was or what wasn't in the drivers system. An innocent life was lost and a town was shattered. It is time to start the healing and move on forward. Hopefully everyone has learned a lesson from this accident.

 It's a Shame!
by: Anonymous

Its' a shame that this had to happen. Both for the victim, Alex, and the driver. As far as I know, the driver was and is a great kid. Always looking to help someone, great in school, and never got into trouble in his life. I don't mean to praise the driver and forget about the victim, but let's all remember, of course, a life was taken, and it is horrible, but the driver deserves a second chance in life. Let's stop badgering him and go forward!!!

 almost a year.
by: Anonymous

it's almost a year alex and it still has been to unreal. i keep thinking of how one day you would come back to school and just say "sauced" i'm alive. it's too selfish to ask for one more day, one more smile, one more laugh, one more hug, one more glimpse of your beautiful face because heaven will miss their craziest angel. In school i used to wonder, "how would this day be if alex was alive?" Alex, you don't understand how much i love you and miss you- -but it's okay. because i know our time isn't over. i'm gonna see you again. you still owe me five bucks =) i love you so much alex. rest in peace baby. <3

 My friend Alex
by: Anonymous

Alex and I were roommates at Rutgers Football Camp in the summer. This was couple of days before the accident. I never thought seeing him getting off the bus would be the last time looking at him. It hurt me because Alex and I got pretty close. We had alot of fun too. This sucks that I couldn't have been there to save him or soemthing. I get a weird feeling when I hear the name Alex. Alex was a great football player too. I hope that this story teaches young teens not to drink and drive. R.I.P Bro love you and see you at states!

 too bad
by: Anonymous

Its always the ones not under the influence nor driving that are killed or hurt. The drunk driver from this accident is walking around, driving and enjoying life like nothing ever happened. His trial wont be until the winter, meanwhile he is eating out, driving around and who knows what and I saw that one of the very injured passenger friends is still with him. It hurts me to see that this poor guy who was disfigured in the accident still is friends with the drunk driver who hurt him and killed their friend, that is soo bad.

 Missed by ALL OF US.
by: Uncle Tony

Hello,
This is Alex's Uncle Tony or as he would say Uncle T. Time stopped the moment Alex left us. For some reason I happened to call the house just moments after he passed. I'm in the Air Force and stationed in Korea and can't call the States that often but for some reason I did at the moment...Alex, was like my son. He visited me a couple of times while I was stationed in Hawaii and he was just the greatest. We had so much fun-swimming with dolphins-boogey boarding-flying in a glider and jumping off of cliffs into the ocean. Ok, Alex jumped from the cliffs with my best friend cause Uncle T is a chicken when it comes to that. The above story was great but Alex also had a great father who helped raise him. Unfortunatly Alex being a teenager was starting to exert his "teenage independence" and pulling away as teen do at that age. Alex loved his dad. Alex also had a great grandmother named Koula and an Aunt MaryAndrea who all loved him. We're all hurting right now but I tell the world about Alex everyday. I love U Alex and U will never be forgotten by any of us...Uncle T.

 ZERO tolerance for drinking and driving
by: Anonymous

This is so sad. I'm sorry for your loss. Go out and spread the word about drinking and driving. Do whatever it takes to be heard and to make others realize this is not a game - drinking and driving kills!The only answer is ZERO tolerance -By this I mean - 0 BAC. Anything else is driving under the influence.
