As I see Alex's picture here, I see such a gentleman! He was that all the time. It has been an honor and privilege to have known him. Rest in peace Alex! Although your family wanted you to stay, God wanted and needed you more. Beth, to you and your family may God give you the strength, peace and courage to go to the next level of your lives knowing that Alex will always be there!
My deepest sympathies!
