Alex retired from GE after 25 years in Westover where he made many lifelong friends. He was a wonderful brother, husband, father, and friend to those of us lucky enough to have him in our lives. He was a loving, caring, unselfish man, who gave of himself even when he was at his ebb. Alex will be missed by us all but he will live on within our hearts and minds forever.
