To The Family, of Mr. THOMAS W. ALEXANDER.
Sincere thoughts of condolences, are extended to each of you. Mr. A, as he was affectionately known, to many who knew him. Was indeed a GOD FEARING MAN. Mr. Alexander, loved God, and never missed an opportunity, to share a word, scripture, or even a Sunday school lesson. With a other who needed a word. No matter the circumstances or situations. To many, he was more than a boss/supervisor. A was confident, friend, an ear when its was needed. A hand of guidance and direction. He loved the many he grew and developed long lasting relationships with, over the years. He was, in deed a force. That 300 pound gorilla, he once referred to himself as. NEVERTHELESS, he was a people person. Love for his family, community and church. Often times, he spoke of fond memories, of his family. And upon doing so, the pride and joy of him sharing his memories. Were seen on his face. With laughter, and excitement. Many a times, he spoke of his daughter, and nephew.
Mr. A, blessed many a persons. Speaking personally, he blessed me over the years. With his continuous friendship. Tho far and near. He was indeed. Truly an outstanding person. Upright and committed and, certainly, willing to say. What’s right and what’s not. He had no problem with making corrections , in an individual. Sharing. His unbias opinions.Â
In closing, tho my heart, is very heavy. And, my tears fall. As I look back, I remember and I recall.
The goodness ..wish I could have attended. To meet and say thank you.
Thank you for sharing YOUR DAD, UNCLE, YOUR LOVED ONE.Â

Mr.Thomas Alexander. Was revered by many. By myself. In life so many things are taken for granted. When God places people. In your life. Stop to say, to tell them. Thank you, I appreciate you. Never take that phone. Made out if the blue., for granted. To say, I just wanted to check on you, say hello. Haven’t heard from you, how are you…I remember, my last call, With Mr. Alexander. Â
