Read MoreI was shocked and saddened to hear of Alex's rapid passing. I only met Alex during the past year at Emeritius where he entertained and tolerated his forgetful fellow tablemates Mel and retired foreign service officer Tadao and myself occasionally. He was always cordial and intellectually curious, a true diplomat...

We were very sad to hear of Alex's passing. We often remember him and your family in Kobe. We regret not having had more opportunities to spend time together. He was so knowledgeable in so many fields - from the Japanese language and culture (his feel for the elite bureaucratic/academic mentality was unsurpassed for a foreigner) to the accents of the nightingales in the world.
With our deepest sympathies.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Alex's passing. I will always be grateful to Alex for leading the way into Foreign Service for me when he was the Junior Officer Trainee Coordinator for USIA back when I entered in 1985. Alex was always very encouraging and supportive. He provided great role model for us fledgling USIA officers-- with his broad knowledge and dazzling language skills, cloaked in his low key demeanor. We will miss him.
Sincerely,
Monica O'Keefe, (retired)...

I saddened and dismayed to learn that Alex had died. Mary and I first met Alex and Yumiko in Polish language class, en route to my first assignment in Warsaw, where Alex’s intellect and humor always brightened the day. I saw him from time to time over the years at USIA and State, and always felt I had something to learn from him with each encounter. But I had not kept up with him in recent years, and had no idea he was not well. Mary and I wish to extend our deepest sympathies to Yumiko...
