Dr. Alandete was such a sweetheart. I enjoyed his smiling face over the last 20 plus years when I would drop work off from Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12. Thank you for all you did for so many people. My deepest condolences to Mrs. Alandete and the entire Family.

Ceci,
Acabo de enterarme por Facebook y no puedo dejar pasar la oportunidad de ofrecerte mis sentidas condolencias extensivas a tus hijos y nietos.
Aprovecho la oportunidad para agradecer de todo Corazon las deferencias que tuvieron conmigo mientras estuve estudiando en Saint Joseph's Academy, fueron unos acudientes maravillosos y siempre los he recordado con un carino especial.
Un abrazo gigante...

Message from Jeff ,Carole and Jeff Warner Jr.

Dr. Alandete was the most caring and gracious person I have ever met. He always had a smile and such a soft, kind way with the children. Jeffrey went to Dr. Alandete until he was in college and always there was the same care as when he was 1 minute old. I am sure the family that is left behind has a great sense of sadness at this time. Please remember that your loved one was and is loved by a great number of people far and wide. I give you ALL our love and sympathy. May God watch over your family and Dr. Alandete.

Message from Kathy Doll

My heart is broken with the loss of dear Dr. Alandete. I worked with him for many years as a pediatric nurse at the hospital. He had such a gentle, kind soul-always smiling,never angry. Parents and children absolutely loved him as did the nurses who worked with him. He will be missed but always remembered for all he did for the children in the community and will always be in our hearts. Thoughts and prayers are with his entire family during this extremely difficult time.
RIP dear Dr. A 🙏 ❤️

A wonderful video tribute to an amazing children doctor. He had cared for both of our sons in their younger years. Our youngest son was only 1 pound and 10 ounces and he treated and took care of him during his two months in the hospital. He was such a remarkable man. His rewards will be many in heaven. Bless the family members through this sad time. He still lives through those wonderful memories each of you share.

Message from Michelle, Nicholle and Christopher Mills

Alandete Family,

Thank you for sharing your husband, dad and grandfather with my family. Dr. Alandete has answered my calls often. My children were young and he super glued a chin, my children were sick and he saw me on a Sunday evening to help me battle a fever. He was always tender, kind and intelligent. He enabled me confidence in caring my for sick or injured toddlers. In physical exams he always offered encouraging words and reassured my fears. This man was a gentle soul who was a blessing to the community. My prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of this great man. Sincerely, Michelle

Message from Dottie Stonesifer

Dr Alandete was the doctor for all 3 of my children from the time my oldest was 9 months old until my son was in college. He had not been in town long and was just a little difficult to understand as his language was a work in progress. But he came to be an integral part of their lives and the entire community. You will be greatly missed and leave behind an unforgettable legacy. Condolences to the family . RIP Dr A.

Dr. Alandete was my doctor as a child. Looking at the dates it had to be right after he moved to this area. I can't say as a child I liked to go see him but I always remembered him and he did me the few times we met after I became an adult. He was a great man and will be remembered by many.

So many great memories of him, and you and the girls,, Cecelia. We are so sorry for the heartbreak you must walk through. Your world will never be the same. His fine legacy lives through all of you. He was truly ONE of a kind. He took care of me from the time I was born, until he HAD to tell me, with tears in his eyes, I HAD to go to another doctor....I was WAY over the age for a pediatrician, and he would try to help me find another doctor that I would feel confident and comfortable with. Such CARE, professionalism, expertise, and knowledge. He cared about OUR community his whole entire career. What a treasure we had here in Hanover. Thank you, Dr. Alandete. May you rest in peace FOREVER. My thoughts and prayers will be with your family. God bless you all.
