Arrangements facilitated by National Cremation Society. Tremendous, heartfelt thanks to the staff at Fawcett Memorial Hospital who not only provided exceptional care in his final days, but also provided a peaceful, compassionate environment for Alex to transition from this life to the next. Those who so desire may make memorials in memory of Alex to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

Written by Alex at the passing of his wife, Lynda - I know the sound the ocean makes by dawn, by night, by day. But will it hold me in its stead when I am far away.
