Alexander (Alex) Joseph Hewitt, 71, of Manchester, NH, passed away at his home on April 18, 2020. Born in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada, he was son of the late Arthur and Alice (Purcell) Hewitt. He shared forty-nine years of marriage with his wife, Patricia (Streeter) Hewitt, with whom he had two children, Stephanie and Statia.
Alex was raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He moved to the United States in 1972 and served four years in the United States Army. He later graduated from Daniel Webster College with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Alex had a successful career as a software engineer, most notably for Digital Equipment Corporation.
Alex volunteered for Greyhound Placement services for many years. He was also an active member of Rimmon Heights neighborhood group. He spent many hours helping people and animals in his community. He has had many rescue pets and most recently loved his cat, Prince. In addition to volunteering he was an avid reader and student of anything that interested him.
Alex always said that his wife, Pat, was the best thing that ever happened to him and that he was lucky that he had her. He enjoyed traveling, volunteering, and going on long walks with her. He had many great friends and good times. He was particularly proud of his daughters and loved his grandchildren. He also enjoyed spending time with family, especially his sister Heather with whom he was very close.
