Alex, there are too many memories to add them all here. I shared a room with you on one or two tournaments and I never remember hearing you complain about my snoring. While I recall your steadfast efforts with the team treasury for years and followed your dedication to the hospital board Not to mention our shared efforts on Oldtimer's participation with the Food Drive, the MS annual walks, the team roofings. (I have probably by-passed so much more... (like your long stuggles advancing along the boards)

No, Alex, what I am missing about you is your wit and humour in the dressing room. You stirred the team up and put us in such a wonderful mood before and after the game... and then later at the PAV.

This is such a poor remembrance of you, but it is the best I can up with right now... and I am going to wonder for a long while what your rejoinder would have been.

By the way, I really like your picture. Rest well old friend... Ken Silcox
