I'm so sorry to read of the passing of Alex. He was a wonderful man, and I was glad I got to spend time with him. I'll always remember the times when he came to California to visit his son Alan and his family. The times playing golf together were always fun. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family! Love, Jim and Mary Herron
