My condolences go out to all family and friends. I will always remember the times we got together over the years. I joined the military and served 32 years and retired in Ontario and we lost contact but I often wondered where you ended up and now it’s to late. We had great times up in Castle Hill woods as young teenagers. Then we would get together on trips home and play pool at the Rendezvous Club in Dunville, Latin Quarters or Studio 4. You were a great friend.You will be missed and remembered.

I just heard about this. I worked with Alex at Boeing in Winnipeg for a spell on the 747 and that was a time! We spent a lot of time talking about back home. I thought about him just a couple days ago, wondering if he was still there or back here, as I'd have loved running into him (I'm only in CBS). My heart goes out to all his friends and family near and far. I know only a fraction of what you've lost, and that little bit brings me hurt, so I can only imagine what you're all going through.
