Alex was a solid man, well grounded Christian and our classmate. I saw Alex and Margaret a few weeks ago at a funeral visitation comforting a family with their loss. He was always the same person each time you ran into him. He will be missed greatly and the world was a better place with him in it. He would remind folks that this world is not our home. Rest well my friend!!!

Alex was a great friend and blessing to be with when we were growing up. His loss has touched me deeply. I can’t not find adequate words to fully express my loss. There are many memories of our childhood and trying to help Randy get into trouble. I pray his family finds comfort in the Lord to help assuage their loss.
