Alex was a highly respected journalist at my hometown paper, The Sheboygan Press, for several years before his teaching career began at the University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan. I had the privilege of being one of his first students at UW-Sheboygan in 1968 where inspired me to choose journalism as my career path.
I am proud to say I followed in his footsteps at The Sheboygan Press and worked there for for 38 years and learned firsthand the respect others had for him as a journalist and a person.

Joan, Condolences on the passing of your spouse, Alex. Tom was his colleague at UW-Sheboygan, where he taught mathematics for 43 years. I remember your children, and your draw-on-the-green- wall party prior to your redecorating your home.
May your fond memories of Al bring you peace, and may you find comfort in family and friends.

Dear Joan -
We just learned of Alex's death, and share the grief that you & the family are going through. Al was a fine man who lived a life overflowing with friends and accomplishments. I know how much Ken depended on and appreciated Al from the very beginning of their association at UW-S. We have many happy memories and will miss him dearly.

Our sympathy to the Nagy family.
I remember Al from the UW Sheboygan. I taught chemistry there for almost 40 years while Al was a faculty member and Campus Dean.
