Jesse Willard "Billy" Alexander

This beautiful man is gone, but certainly not forgotten.

To the family,

Heartfelt sympathy.

Thank you sir for your Milatary Service in WW2. As a Veteran of Vietnam and son of a Veteran of WW2 I SALUTE YOU SIR!! THANK TOU!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My favorite work of poetry is "If" by Rudyard Kipling. When I read it I am reminded of Jesse Willard Alexander.

We knew him as "Willie" while at the house in late 60s/early 70s and have fond memories of those times. Always treated us with the utmost respect, though we didn't deserve it most of the time! Introduced both my children to him at one of Theta Chi parties, when son was 1st year and daughter 4th year, and Willie was "guest" bartender. He's at peace now.

Willie remembered everyone he ever met and always had a cheerful smile and a great story to tell. He will be missed by all.

He was a great man and we will all keep in him our thoughts. He lived his live and served his friends and others with diligence, skill and pride. I think of him often.

Never met a better man who poured a stronger drink. He'll be missed by all the brothers of Theta Chi.

When I think of my four wonderful years at the University ('75-'79), a parade of faces go by in my mind as being important parts of that overall experience. And Willie is right there. His humor, wit, his warm gruffness, his confidence, his bigger-than-life bearing, added so much to our lives.

We can all only hope to live such a full, rich, long life and touch as many people as Willie did. MY sincere condolences to his whole family. I hope and pray that the collective memories of so many whose lives he touched will be some comfort to you in this difficult time.

I have known Willie since 1957 as a brother in Theta Chi. Willie's humor, dedication and integrity was admired by all. I have kept in touch with Willie over the years and was proud to be present for his induction as a brother in Theta Chi. Willie will be missed and I am pleased to call him "friend" and "brother". My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sadness.

I was at Theta Chi when Brother Willie became associated. What a great guy with the same outlook on life. Earth has lost one of its most beautiful people!

May God give Willie his just reward and comfort all who loved him.

"Our deepest sympathy in the time of your loss. "Billy was a wonderful and caring person who was devoted to family and friends. He always had that smile and laughter that wanted you in his presence. Now he has taken that smile and laughter to a higher place to be enjoyed by God and the Angels."

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

A man with character, a gentleman, a caring person, intelligent, a someone with integrity, humor, insight...I could go on with ways to describe a man I looked up to. I will forever be glad I spent some time with Willie, heard him whistle, and listened to his laughter.

Mary Alexander & Family,
My deepest condolences to you at the loss of "Willie." As a Theta Chi brother my memories of Willie are of his wonderful outgoing personality and his great smile. He will be missed by all of us, but we are comforted that he is safely in the arms of his Lord. God bless all of you.
