Alex A. Papa, 70, of North Haven passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday, August 1st, 2022 at his home.

To the Papa family I am so sorry for your loss. I used to enjoy talking to Alex Having coffee with him on Friday nights and sometimes in the afternoon we’re having lunch., before he retired from the restaurant. He was always such a gentleman and so kind. You are all in my thoughts and prayers may Alex rest in peace. Sincerely Anna Onofrio Simeone.
To the Papa family. I am so very sorry for your loss, Alex was such a gentleman and so kind. I always remember either speaking with him at lunchtime or Friday nights at dinner. He would make coffee sometimes and always have some kind of dessert. He will definitely be missed. May he rest in peace. My sincere condolences. Anna Onofrio Simeone.
Handsome and kind

I recently saw notice about Al’s passing in the Catholic Univ alumni newsletter and I just want to pay my respects. I had been friends with him in college but sadly had not been in touch since then. My sincere condolences to the family and everyone who had been in his life in recent years.
