HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted February 18, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 18, 2008 Alex helped me with my appeal. He actually called me first and offered his assistance even though, at that time, I was not a member of the VVA. He persisted, and won my appeal. We spent so much time on the 'phone over that 3 year period that we became much more than a client/lawyer relationship. He'd even call, out of the blue, and ask how I was doing, then, as I noted by his speaking ability that HE was getting worse, I'd call him. I told him "thank you", when I received my award letter from the RO granting me service connection, due to Alex's work on my behalf. I'll never forget what he said. He told me that I didn't need to thank him....that any vet would have done the same thing, and he said it very sincerely, very humbly. We just observed the passing of a very great heart, a very humble, kind man. I loved ya, Alex, like the Brother you truly were. May he be free of pain and suffering....... Thank YOU, Alex.

HadIt.com Elder Wings Posted February 18, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 18, 2008 x x x Tbird has a special page for our Fallen Heroes. Is it possible to find a copy of Alex's obituary? This is such sad news, I didn't even know he was ill ... ~Wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texvet Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 From the time I found the old VA forum years ago until the present time, I would search first for any comments that Alex had made to our FAMBLY members! One piece of advice I found to be of significant value was one he gave constantly, I took it to heart. ALEX, I TOOK THE MONEY AND RAN!!! May GOD bless you and hold you in HIS arms! REGARDS, JON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donews Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) I did not know Alex personally, but I have read of him. It is always of great loss when someone with the attributes such as he had is taken from us. I will remember what he meant to so many people.
