I am very sad to make this entry.
Alex was my good friend, and golfing, fishing, hunting, shrimping and poker partner. We often disagreed but learned from each others life lessons. I will never forget our last outing which was the week before he passed were Alex got lucky and beat me in golf and then we enjoyed a poker match that evening with (9) other great guys (what a day). My condolences to the family. I will miss Alex very much.

Dianne,

I am so sorry to learn of Alex's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Although we lost touch with one another since high school, I'll remember the good times I spent running the roads with Alex in his little blue convertible with the cassette player jamming on AC/DC. And the countless games of foosball, Pacman and Donkey Kong we played with Ernie Worsham, my sister Cheryl, Ken Beasley and Sonya Cease with you right there along side, at the Carousle in Hanahan. Thanks for the great times Alex!

Respectfully,

The news of Alex hit me hard yesterday when I heard, as I am sure it did everyone else. I had the pleasure of knowing Alex when he worked on two of my projects. He not only performed excellently on the job but I also enjoyed our personal chats during these times. My prayers go out to his family and friends at this time.

John & Diane.....

I was so sorry to read of Alex's passing. I remember him from when we all lived on Isle of Palms so many years ago. He & my son Billy used to play together and he was a great little kid...altho I have to say that the two of them managed to get into a little bit of mischief at times.

I know how much it hurts to lose a child. It's something that you never expect to have happen. At times you have to wonder why God allows this but I believe that there is a reason for everything. I'm sure that right now it's just hard to comprehend what that reason is.

My prayers & sympathy to both of you.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Alex was not only a great coworker, but a great friend. I knew I could always count on him and he was always a gentleman. I will never forget him and the short amount of time we had as friends...
