Kyr and I will miss eyeing him at The Marbella with his ever present twinkle in his eye. Alec beamed when his grandchildren were around and when he spoke of them. They have tall shoes to fill. Our sympathies go to Terri and Gene and Rich and the grandchildren. A truly splendid individual who was one of a kind.
