RIP Alex Salis of Bay Ridge
Alex Salis passed away suddenly. He was only 56 years old. Although you may not recognize the name, Salis was often seen on 75th Street and 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge.
Accustomed to carrying his whole world in his backpack, Alex was well-known to the community. Most days he was friendly. Sometimes he wasn’t because he wasn’t feeling well.
Residents placed a rose and a rosary on his backpack which remains on the sidewalk.
Life wasn’t easy for him and he chose to stay here because Bay Ridge was his home.
RIP Alex.
Prayers for his girlfriend and his sister. who is coming from Florida.
Alex and his girlfriend, Stephanie were together for twenty years. Most people *hope* to be lucky enough to find love that lasts that long. May she hold on to the good memories that they shared.
I saw a notice for a vigil on Friday, September 28th hanging:
Hugs,
marlene
