Won’t forget singing duets with you on your bed, the very first day I met you in person on my birthday, allowing me to video you at the batting cage- you didn’t make contact with one ball, your reaction when I ate Cheetos and m and m’s off your floor, flying high at Benten, our meetups at “our beach” and Forge River. You, me, our dogs sharing a bed. Our place at Painters and you holding onto my hair so I wouldn’t fall out of your car, you face when I gave YOU flowers. There will never be enough memories but thankful for the ones we made. less
Sunset at Smith's Point @2019. Listening to great music (and Alec' infectious laugh) with great friends. Alec Katz, Debra Capuano, Doreen Armstrong and me.
A little bit of a funny story, I remember Alec having interest me back in high school, but I wasn’t interested for whatever reason, I was told he said that’s OK she seems like a stuck up bitch anyway, something to look back and laugh at , He was a... moreA little bit of a funny story, I remember Alec having interest me back in high school, but I wasn’t interested for whatever reason, I was told he said that’s OK she seems like a stuck up bitch anyway, something to look back and laugh at , He was a great guy!! ❤️❤️ less

That’s just how it was, it’s difficult to accept anything else.
As anyone who’s met my brother Alec for a split second knows, he was the Sun of any space. He had a way, a presence of being, he was an undeniable force.
Alec was big, but his heart was bigger. He was loud, but his actions were louder. He loved with every ounce. Like my mother, he easily made connections to anyone. He always found the common thread of laughter. His laughter was felt as much as heard in thunderous vibrations. He shook the room. Anyone that knew him, knew that laughter and can probably hear and feel it at this very moment.
I imagine he’s somewhere in some far-off place meeting with family and friends from the past doing what he has always done, bringing everyone to thunderous laughter.
Even at this very moment, I’m still not believing it. I choose to believe he’s still here, I can hear him in the distance. Wherever you are big brother, you’re loved, today, always, and forever. less
