Alexander Goff Obituary


  
Alexander Kral Goff (Age 49)  
Died in Santa Monica, California on July 27, 2015 of pancreatic cancer. A native of Washington, DC, he attended John Eaton and Maret schools, and was graduated from The School Without Walls, in 1985. After graduation, he worked as a photographer in Orono. Maine, and then travelled by motorcycle to Hollywood to get a job in the movies. He succeeded and worked on film crews and had two bit parts in movies that he described as "Grade B." He loved the gardens of Santa Monica where he lived for almost 20 years, photographing cityscapes, gardens, and flowers. He is survived by his parents, Dr. James F. and Barbara Goff, of Washington; his sister, Sidra Michon of Lexington, MA; two nieces Corey and Casey Michon; and his aunt, Marge Humphreys of Novato, CA. His many friends and family have enjoyed his creative and unique way of thinking. We shall miss him dearly. No services are planned.
