ALEX GIGEROFF July 30, 1931 - May 2, 2016 "Doubly blessed with my education, coupled with my wide ranging curiosity, I've been able to span some science, law, philosophy, literature, all of the arts.

Not sure what to say?

Alex, I will miss your calls on Macedonian holidays, your encouragement to keep writing. In fact, I would never have had the courage to attend university, at your urging,late in my life. You were there when I graduated years later. You are the ever widening ripple which keeps spreading outward, which touches people in ways you could not imagine. You will be missed and am grateful that I knew one part of you. You had so many parts.

A great Canadian and sorely missed by the Macedonian Canadian community.

I am so glad I found you before you left on the next leg of your journey. I am so grateful for all that you taught me when I worked as your legal secretary when you were first called to the bar. As a young girl I was like a sponge taking in all the knowledge I could that would serve me through my entire life. Thank you.
I am so blessed that in my search for you, I also found Andre. As kind and talented as you. My youngest grandson has your signed books that he will treasure throughout...

Now at age 61,I vividly remember as a 6 year old boy visiting Alex with my father and twin brother when Alex lived in Whitby, Ontario, undertaking legal work for the Town. Alex always had crayons and paper for my brother and I when we visited. My brother and I always looked forward to visiting Alex, while my father and he discussed Town business. Good memories. As a young boy I always thought that Alex was an Architect with all his drawing paper in his apartment.

Alex, your keen wit and sharp mind will be missed by all that you touched in so many ways! You were always so positive towards so many people despite your problems. The fine people of Yarmouth were recipients of your love of art and sense of humour. When I sit to read "Baba's Macedonian Socks" to my grandchild- your singing will flash into my mind and I will cry tears of joy- that you gave me a way to share our Macedonian heritage with the next generation! Without doubt you have danced...
