  Alex was a dear and old friend of my Dads, Tony Goularte. Alex was a part of many of my Dads childhood stories. When my Dad passed away last year...Alex was there to say his goodbyes. I had only found out today that Alex had passed away...he was a good man and I will miss seeing him. I will never forget Alex.

  Auntie Marilyn, Cindy, Mick and families, How do we find the right words to say goodby to someone who touched so many lives in such a positive way? My uncle Alex was blessed with the gift of making each person he was around, feel like they were really important. He instantly became a best friend, a favorite uncle, a surrogate brother, a second father. My uncle Alex was so full of the joy of life that it spilled out onto others. He always took time to share his words of wisdom with me and let me know that he was proud of me. He had a way of leaving me feeling happy and hopeful. He certainly "wore many different hats" and meant many things to many people. The last time I saw him, he was filling bags of avocados to share with his neighbors. That's how I'm choosing to remember him- sharing all parts of himself with others. I love you lots Uncle Alex, Debs

  Handsome, strong, athletic, hardworking, family man- Alex Bernard took these characteristics to a new level. His chosen words were shared with love and compassion. What a privilege to grow up in a ?village? with a man like Alex setting an example, coaching us, mentoring us, and cheering us on. I?m sending my love to all who read this heartfelt note. Jeff

He was positive, upbeat and made you want to be the best that you could be. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to know him. Love and prayers Karen Bernard

  Alfred Bernard

  I will miss my brother. He never had a bad word about anybody that I can remember. Everything he tried he did the best and he was #1 regardless of what it was, football, baseball, his time in service becoming the highest non-commissioned officer with a rank of Sgt Major, in his work in construction. Everyplace we went together people were standing in line to shake his hand and talk with him, especially at reunions. He loved the horses, the 49ers and the Giants, but most of all his family. My love to Marilyn, Cindy &David, Mick & Jeanne. He was so excited to become a great grandpa, wish he had had more time to know the newest family members. Love Alfred

  I will always be fond of Uncle Alex. When I took my family to his home for many barbecues and family events, he always welcomed me into the family and we always had fun talking about the 49ers. I loved watching Alex interact with his brothers, sisters and nieces and nephews and how close knit everyone is. I am proud to be part of this wonderful family.

  I have beautiful memories of my uncle Alex. I remember growing up him coming over to help my mom with gardening and his love for horse racing with my dad and other uncles. He was so excited about the birth of his grand nephews Dylan and Derek and how the Wallter Clan finally broke the house of skirts as he and my father would call it. "Finally got those boys" I will always hold a special place in my heart for Uncle Alex.

  Grandpa, You are one of a kind. I have so many happy memories with you. My favorites being bbq's in the backyard, wathcing baseball games, gardening, and picking horses for you to bet on. I am so blessed to have you as my Grandpa. And I am so happy my little boy was able to meet you. You will alway be in my heart. I love you.

  Where do I begin? I'm still in shock that Uncle Alex is gone. I have spent the last 35 years celebrating my birthdays with him, gone over there many nights to visit, getting to live with him and Auntie Marilyn my senior year of High School, going out to dinner with them, many family gatherings in the backyard, family dinners at my parents house along with playing apples to apples, 31 or game of the things. Things just won't be the same without him. Words can't describe how much he will be missed. I love you, Uncle Alex.

  So sad in my heart to lose my brother and friend, I will miss him dearly. Alex always had good words about everyone, and in our later years would tell me lets live for today because we have no idea how many of them we have left. Love and miss you. My love to Marilyn. Love Ledora

  My Grandpa is the absolute greatest man I have ever known. His great advice, his love, and his pure spirit. He always saw the greatest in everyone and always welcomed everyone into his and Grandma's home like family. Family was his number one. I will miss him every day, and I know many others will do. But in order to honor him I will always be my best, because like he always told me, you never know when someone is watching and who is looking up to you and calling you their hero. I love you Grandpa.

  Dear Aunt Marilyn, Cindy and David, Mick, Jeanne and girls. I am so very sorry and saddened at the loss of Uncle Alex. I have so many wonderful memories running through my head. I would like to share a couple. I remember the wonderfu BBQ's at Kimber Farms. The huge racks of bbq chicken being cooked. Uncle A lex and my Dad cooking together. Then the softball and horse-shoe tournaments. Saturday mornings my Dad anxiously wating for it to be time to go to the " Horse Races " with Uncle Alex and Uncle Manuel at Bay Meadows or Golden Gate Fields. The 3-Amigos Uncle Alex was a loving and gentle soul who was loved and liked by so many. Love and Prayers to you all Vick & Tom
