Rest in Peace dear Jack. So happy we were able to spend time with you last January on our visit back east. So many memories will remain in our hearts forever. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Monsignor Alesandro was an intelligent, caring Priest. We knew him during his lengthy service at St Joseph RC in Garden City,

We will miss Msgr ., Every mass we celeberated with Msgr was so inspiring

How much all of us will miss this wonderful human being, canonist, missionary disciple! So many of us owe him a debt of gratitude for his goodness to us. Heaven is enriched by his presence with the risen Lord. May Jack rest in peace, Amen.

Jack, we will miss you. You affected our lives in such wonderful ways. But we know that you now are celebrating your amazing life and many accomplishments with Bill (Varvaro), John (Lavin) and John (Kinney).
We will always remember that the answer is “Wazo of Liege”!

A tremendously accomplished and scholarly man and loving, astute priest who inspired so many. I will remember his kindness and his encouragement. He has left a body of work in canon law that shall inform and educate those to follow. Many prayers for his family and friends and for the peaceful repose of his soul.

Will miss him as fellow diocesan priest, canonist and golf partner. May God welcome him into his loving arms.

So sad to hear of Monsignor Alesandro's passing. I remember him from my years at St. Joseph school and parish in Garden City. He was an accomplished piano player and he would play at different functions we had at St. Joseph's. I am now at St. Thomas the Apostle parish and he always gave a thoughtful and insightful homily at Mass. He will be missed by many. God rest his soul and my condolences to his family.

A great mentor and a loss to us and our Church. I will remember Jack and his family in my prayers and will offer a Mass for him.

A compassionate priest and astute canonist always willing to share his knowledge and experience. He will be greatly missed though while his extensive writings endure for future canonists.

Jack Alesandro is universally respected and admired by everyone who had the good fortune to know him as a Canonist, Teacher, or any of the many other ways he served the People of God during his fifty-four years as a good and faithful priest. In paradisum deducant eum angeli.

Our church has lost a fine priest, a great mind, and a valued resource in the field of canon law. Monsignor “Jack” Alesandro, an active member of the Canon Law Society of America for many years, contributed much in the way of scholarly research and application of the law. His kind and gentle demeanor was always a welcomed addition to any conversation or meeting. Moreover, he was always most gracious and helpful to many canonists throughout the years who sought his scholarly wisdom and canonical acumen. On a personal note, I clearly remember his kind, gentle, and generous gift of time and talent that he offered to me as I was completing my dissertation. I am forever grateful. May he rest in peace.

Ecce serve bone et fidelis, intra in gaudium Domini Tui !
et intercede pro nobis peccatoribus, qui - aeternae salutis spe nitentes - hac in lacrimarum valle adhuc commoramur, sicut et nos pro Te oramus et orabimus.

I will always remember his kindness and aid. He will be missed.

I had Msgr. Alesandro for several courses when I studied canon law at CUA. He was a great teacher, a great canon lawyer, and a great priest. He will be missed but he is now enjoying his eternal reward with Our Lord.

Jack was a friend to everyone he met, a great canonist, and extremely bright scholar and teacher. We are indebted to him for his service to the CLSA. I appreciated his unequivocal support during my presidency especially for the initiatives to strengthen committees. My heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to all loved ones and friends.

Msgr. Alesandro was a very generous and insightful canonist. When I was asked to teach a course in canon law to people studying for a civil law degree at the University of Detroit-Mercy School of Law, Jack gave me his course syllabus and his notes! They were very helpful. Know of my condolences. I prayed a rosary for him .

Msgr. Alesandro will be remembered as a very generous and insightful canonist who helped many people. When I was going to teach a course in canon law to people studying to be civil lawyers at the University of Detroit-Mercy School of law Jack gave me his course syllabus and his notes. They helped me tremendously! I also have had many other experiences of him. Know of my condolences at your loss. Yesterday I prayed a rosary for him.

true giant in the field of Canon Law. His passion and love for the ministry and service of others will be missed, but most importantly his passion and drive for the church and Canon Law will be forever changed. May he Rest in Peace!

To the Family of Msgr Alessandro,
Sending you sincere condolences on the loss of your brother and your uncle. He was very proud of his family and spoke so well of all of you. He was a true giant in the field of Canon Law and his genius and talent as well as his forever smile will be remembered fondly. He was kind and gracious and I learned much from working with him through the years in the CLSA. He was always willing to help any canonist and any diocese that asked. God bless you all with joyous memories.

After I met Jack I wanted his passion for Canon Law. We lost a great man and a great Canon Lawyer. May he Rest In Peace.

A true priest of the Lord. A gifted canonist. A true disciple of Jesus.
A compassionate and caring minister of the Gospel.
