Our sadness for your entire family is indescribable - especially so soon after Keith's wife, Susan's, death this past June, and Dean's passing a year ago. We so enjoyed Rick's company at Alexander family functions. He was always so real, interesting, and a great conversationalist. We admired his passion and devotion to his children. He sure lived his life to the fullest. His presence will be greatly missed by all who had the joy and honor of knowing him. Please know how very much we love you and hold you close in our hearts now and always. You are all in our prayers.
With love always,
Kyle, Lee, Katie, and Mitch

Dear Sue, and Alexander family. It was a shock to see Rick's name in the obits this week. Please accept my sincerest sympathies at your enormous loss! I haven't seen handsome Rick since high school, but he was a force to be reckoned with even back then! My thoughts and prayers are with you Sue, and with all who loved and lost Rick. Sincerely, Chris (Hagberg) Moore

Thanks Bro, for all the times you were there for me during the lean years, for finding the slip of paper with my wedding vows that I dropped as I walked down the aisle and getting it to me just in time, for sharing your confidences, for being a big brother to be proud of. I'll always have a hole in my heart, but I will always remember you with love, humor and pride. XO "Suzy-Q"
