We did not know Alec very well, but remember him as a gentle, kind person. Sara was Carolyn's roommate in college and we hold her in our thoughts and prayers.



Much love,

Alec was my sister's husband, but he was more than a mere brother-in-law to me. He was witty, charming, funny, serious, incredibly intelligent, and knowledgeable on such a wide variety of subjects. Conversations with Alec were glorious and fun, and I always felt I had learned something from him when we finished talking. I loved him, and will miss him, especially when I hear "the beep tone." God bless you, M. Alec.
