Dear Alec, Although we haven't seen each other in years, I was truly saddened to hear about your accident which resulted in your passing. What I remember most about you was your smile and laugh :).

I wish your family peace and hope they realize that you'll always be with them in spirit. I will keep them and you in my prayers and thoughts. God Bless you and your Family, Your friend, Lisa

Fond memories of Alec at family gatherings. This was such a tragedy and we will miss him very much. Deepest sympathy to Paula, Tony, Alissa, Sonya and families.

I have great memories of school and football with Alec. He, Tommy and I were tri captains on the varsity team in 1983. We had years of fun playing ball together, and he was a tough player who could be depended on when we really needed a lift. I don't ever remember him without a smile on his face, and he laughed so easily. I think he was the Class of 84 version of Ferris Bueller; he was friends with everyone. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Alec's family. Ken and Sue Bradbury Apex, North Carolina

To the Coulstring Family, My deepest sympathies for the loss of your loved one. I did not know Alec but my sister & her husband (The Harrigan's) were friends and I share their grief. They spoke very highly of Alec. It is hard to let go of someone so young, carefree and loved. He will be missed. I will keep Alec and his loved onesw in my prayers.

I am so sorry about your loss. I knew Alec from JJ's and he always made you smile. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Alec's passing. My thoughts & prayers are with him & his family. -Tim Murphy

We will miss seeing you at JJ's it won't be the same, thinking of you and praying for your family..until we meet again our friend Alec 🙂 All our love, Ann & John Harrigan

I just recently found out about Alec's passing. My heart goes out to his wife and family. I used to go with my Dad to watch him play football. Uncle Alec would go on and on about him , how many touch downs he had , how many passes he had completed, I was in awe of him and wanted my Dad to be as proud of me as his was of him. Even though I was younger, Alec would take time to throw the ball around with me after the game. As a kid I looked up to him and always thought he was really cool. My deepest condolences

It is with great sympathy to the Coulstring family and friends at Triangle Engineering that I offer my condolences. Alec was a good man, and a man's man who lived a free and enviable lifestyle to fish, to ski, and do as he pleased. He worked hard and lived hard. You knew where you stood with Alec because he could dish it out--and he could take it! God bless you Alec. ..."Hey Al! A ham sandwich walks into a bar"...I'll be looking for you when our paths cross again someday, and I'll give you the punch line then. Gonna miss ya! Dave from Yellow

We'd like to give our deepest sympathy to Alec's family and friends. Hold tight to fond memories to give you comfort and strength. Al- you will be sorely missed. You were such a great friend to my brother Dan and his wife and kids.We are all blessed to have had you in our lives. We'll miss you and your sense of humor terribly at our family parties.May you rest in peace... - Jennifer Ryan (Hager) and the Hager family

Our thoughts and prayers to the Coulstring family. Alec will be missed by many. It won't be the same not seeing his smiling face. We were lucky to have such a great person in our lives...

My sincerest sympathy to the Coulstring family. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Alec.

I am so sorry for your loss and ours. I went to school with Alec and then moved to Florida for 13 years he was one of the first people I ran into when I moved back home at JJ's. I would run into Alec every once in a while and it was always a joke between us. My heart is heavy with sadness. He will be missed by everyone who has had the pleasure of having a laugh with him.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Alec's passing. Although the years have passed all too quickly, the memories not just of football and baseball (yes... he was an excellent baseball player as well!) but of his warm spirit and demeanor won't soon be forgotten! My condolences to his family and friends!! -Rob Squiers. AHS Class of '84

Alec was always the life of the party. I will always remember the Six Flags impersonations he did and full splits on the dancefloor. But most of all the conversations... where we solved the problems of the world..or at least our world after 20 or so games of tic tac toe with rocks & sticks out at the firepit. A friend truly missed. This will take some time.

I love you Alec and will miss you forever...you will always be in my heart. You were the best friend to me that I could have ever asked for and I am eternally greatful to you! So many good times with you, always laughing and the best hugs ever! Until we meet again my friend~

To the Coulstring family and close friends: I am at once shocked, and so saddened, and very sorry to hear about Alec's passing. I'll particularly remember Alec as being part of the "Russell Lane contigent" of friends I had just up the road from where I grew up on Summit Road. Always had a lot of fun with Alec. He was always smiling and many times broght me to tears laughing hysterically. His zest for life and good-natured, out going personality is what I'll always remember. Rest in Peace Alec. Richard Stone
