Deepest sympathy to Alex's family. He had a very compasionate heart. His willingness to be of service to other people made the world a better place. Seaking personally as someone that can have a bit of difficulty socially at times, it always helped me greatly when Alex was there also, to have such a friendly and kind soul to buddy up with. He will be missed.
