Our family was so blessed to have Alex in our lives. We so very much enjoyed his jovial demeanor and how he welcomed all to enjoy the moment. He was always so friendly and welcoming to everyone around him. Kelly loved being with him and the family dog when Alison would bring her to visit. Alex simply made us smile.
Rita, Alison and Mike - we will miss him and are thankful to have known Alex.
With all our love and sympathy,
Jill, Steve and Kelly Hutt
