Roy Alexander

My condolences to Roy's family -- I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Roy in the late 60s from the Garr Memorial Church days, and he was my late husband Dave Wood's roommate just before we were married in 1968. We all had some great times together & I hope it will bring some comfort to the family to know that way back in the college days Roy always brought a ray of sunshine each time he entered a room. Such a smart man, funny and fun-loving. He was the true definition of a good man. He...

Roy's accomplishments will make him memorable for all of us who knew him.

One of his accomplishments that was not included in either the story or in the obituary: Roy was a founding board member of The Charlotte Film Society in 1982. He served as treasurer for several years in that then fledgeling organization, thirty plus years later, a thriving contributor to the Charlotte culture scene.

My condolences to Roy's family.

to the family. I am so sorry for your loss. Roy was an amazing man to know- as is all the family members that I had the pleasure to take some trips with. You are in my prayers. I can see his big smile. Annie Baker

I enjoyed the benefits of Mr. Alexander's environmental work since the 1970's and enjoyed the occasional meetings/hikes with him. I am sorry to hear of his passing, he will be missed.

I worked with Roy at Discovery Place in Traveling Exhibits for many years. From Dinosaurs to Oz and China we got the exhibits up and running. He was such a great boss and treated hid staff well. I have many wonderful memories.

Roy lived a life that mattered. His contributions to Life have left a lasting impression on us and all who knew him. He will be greatly missed! Lots of hugs and love to Roy's dear wife and family.

I had the pleasure of working with Roy at Discovery Place for most of his 20 years there. We had many adventures in the museum and in the field. He developed the popular Naturalists Weekend at Wildacres, which continues to be an annual program of DP 30+ years later. Played many volleyball games with Roy, who was a skilled and competitive player. His commitment to conservation of our natural areas is unmatched. He will be missed dearly! My deepest condolences to Sue, his kids and all his...

I had the pleasure of working with Roy and a great staff at Discovery Place for 9 years. One night while driving the van with a few of us to Savannah for a meeting, Roy pulled us over on the overpass to watch the meteor shower. I always think of Roy and that great moment with every meteor shower I see, and think of him when I walk our greenways. Job well done Roy. We appreciate all you have done in preserving our environment.

My deepest condolences. Roy was my 4h Leader/Extension agent. He was so great to work with, always patient and understanding. We will miss you Roy. Our hearts aree with you Sue.
