Clifford and I were like brothers growing up. Some people thought we could be twins. I have nothing but fond memories of those years. I am so happy that I was able to see and talk to him before he passed.

I am so sorry to hear about your lost. My family met Mr. Alexander back in the 70's. My mother had the upmost respect for him. He was a caring man that was always willing to help those in need. My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Alexander, Alex and the rest of the family.
