Dear Peggy,
I read this morning with great sadness of Alex's passing. Please accept my heartlfelt sympathy for you and your family. I still remember our last meeting with "cousin Al" years ago in Bethlehem, laughing until my sides hurt at a string of Al's stories. He was one of a kind for sure. No doubt he'll be missed by all he knew.

Peggy,
I am so sorry for your loss. Alex was a special person. I will always have fond memories of him when we visited your home, watching the news to see what the "Provost" had done that day, and laughing with him as he "rolled" you down the hall after your accident. Please let me know if you need anything. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Peggy,

It was an unbelievable shock to read of Alex's death in the Roanoke Times. I will miss his incisive mind and the clarity of his thoughts. He was always someone who could be relied upon to shine a light through the fog of indecision and doing so with great humor. I will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time.

Dear Peggy and Family, We cannot possibly fathom your extreme loss of Alex.
