July 10, 2024 at 4:02 PMIv done the hvac and refrigeration work for Bel Piato for several years. Iv never once felt a weird vibe from Alex. He was always professional and a good guy it seemed like. You never know what people really do behind closed doors. I’m not saying take lightly on him because I don’t know the extent of the crimes, but I would definitely make sure it’s looked into thoroughly as possible before slamming that kind of charge on someone’s reputation.
