Alex was born in Clinton and raised in Egmondville. He joined the Royal Canadian Navy and was stationed at HMCS Shearwater.

    Blondie & Family
    Words, however kind, are unable to mend your heartache. Alex inhibited such an unselfish kind heart. We were only graced with his presence here at the Chantry for such a short time but could immediately see what a wonderful human being he was. Knowing Alex is free & at peace eases the sadness in all our hearts

    Blondie and all – so sorry to hear this news. Alex was a smiley guy and he was one of our original volunteers at the Seaforth Country Classic. I picture him in his yellow and green, smiling at the players and the spectators, and thoroughly enjoying the whole golf experience. His buddies will miss him too.
    Good memories will abound long after these sad days.

    Sorry to hear of Alex’s passing. I remember Alex always having a smile on his face and a little quip or two whenever we met.
