I meet Alex. Whe he lived in cancun Mexico.he became a really good friend of mine. We use to work at a marina and we went scuba diving so many times. After like 28 years I moved to central Florida and we meat again. Such a small world. But I'm pretty sure we'll meet again. My condolences to his mother and his sons.

My two favorite memories of Alex from Haverford School.

Senior year wrestling Alex shows up to our mid season wrestling match with a severe fever and was feeling awful. Instead of forfeiting, he goes out to compete. Two minutes in he vomits all over mat and overhears the opposing coach tell his kid to finish Alex off. They clean up and resume the match. Alex pins him in 30 seconds. Man he was competitive and tough.

Second story. I´m in our senior year English class at Haverford and it´s time read in front of class. This wasn´t Alex´s strong suit. Instead of being embarrassed or self conscious like me, Alex is the first to volunteer every time determined to improve.

I´m sorry for your loss.

To the Yarnall Family. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Akex´s passing. We were friends in High school (AIS for me) and just recently reconnected through social
Media. My heart breaks for all
of you. Hugs from a stranger who knew him in his prime. I remember him well.
