I am still thinking about how Alex Pretti was out there directing traffic, waving cars through. A instinctive, quintessentially Dad Response to any kind of commotion happening on the block—to go out and help a little, in a small way. To make sure no one gets unnecessarily hurt.
signs left at alex pretti’s memorial in minneapolis: “i love you so much / i’ll miss you forever” photo with a friend, “i would have done the same. RIP alex,” a stethoscope and “we’ll take it from here, alex” and a tshirt for the minnesota nurses association
