I was shocked to hear of Mr. Alexander passing. He taught me geometry at J. W. Darden High. He was an excellent teacher with a sense of humor. May your fond memories bring you comfort.

To Mr. Alexander’s Family:
I write to extend my deepest condolences on the passing of Mr. Alexander. I was in his 1967-68 Plane Geometry class. His teaching approach was unique because he could bridge the gap between the ones that understood geometry and the ones that didn’t (like me),and we all absorbed the knowledge because of his teaching style. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.

R I P Mr. Alexander

So sorry to hear of Mr. Alexander's passing. He was my Math teacher @ South Macon High years ago. I found him to be very enthusiastic about Math and tried to encourage others accordingly. My prayers are with your family during your loss.
