Not sure what to say?

It was a privilege and pleasure for me to work with Alex when I was a fellow and junior staff at Yale and to have continued the friendship as a Fleischner member. I have always admired him as a scientist, nuclear physcian and as a kind, gracious and humorous man. We will all miss him.

Alex was not only an outstanding nuclear physician but a kind,unassuming and gracious man. I shall not forget his gentle humour, good nature and kind advice whenever we met at Fleischner meetings. He was one who left the world a better place than he found it.

Many of my fondest memories of the Fleischner Society include Alex's wit, wisdom and guidance. My sincere condolences to his family.
