I'm very sorry to hear of Alex's passing. At the same age as he was, I feel it is too young to leave us. Alex was in our 1964 Shady Grove graduation class. I pray that he family has many wonderful memories to help them through the loss.

My husband loved Mr. Alex, they were friends for many years. I met Mr. Alex on one of Leroy's and my trips to LA. before we moved here. He and his wife Linda are wonderful people, so special, always making you feel at home. I'm going to miss him, although I didn't see him often, I always knew he was right across the river. So sorry for this loss, all my thoughts and prayers to Linda and the entire Chauffe family, my heart is so sad.
