Alex will be greatly missed by his family, friends and the many people whose lives he touched.

Diane, Kara, Lindsay, Barb, Kathie, and extended family: my heart goes out to all of you in the loss of a dear, loving family man, Alex. I so enjoyed visiting with all of you whenever Barb and I travelled to the Island to see everyone while on a shopping jaunt, or just to say hello and have a great pub lunch out. Alex was a charming man, he always made me laugh with his cheeky comments, and he was a true gentleman. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. With sincere sympathy to each of you, and sending you hugs and love.
