Alex Stachura Beating Death

[MrNittany]

Good Christ, I'm not able to sleep well tonight, I log on and see this topic at 4:30 AM and it made my hair stand straight up.

It happened in September 1991. I'm DLS Class of 1993, just like Alex, and it was an utterly horrible time then. I wasn't at the dance [[at a Stevenson/Chippewa FB game); heard early the next morning. The upstream posts of the basic story [[initial fight, Alex "wins", then gets jumped), and the priest [[our school chaplain) carrying the body away toward medical attention are both correct.

I wasn't overly close with Alex, only an acquaintance, but he was a talented kid who would have been a great man someday. [[strangely, the 3rd classmate of mine who died in 3 years)

Last I heard, DelGreco [[who I was friends with up until we both graduated St. Anne Jr. High and drifted apart) has been released from jail [[a few years ago). He was eligible for a life sentence but did not receive that. He made some horrible decisions and he justly paid for it ..... I pray he's able to make peace with his God.

I'm pretty sure DelGreco, being the one who delivered the "final kick", was the only one involved who was [[1) tried as an adult, and [[2) served any sort of sentence beyond about a year.

RIP Alex.
