I am so sorry to hear about Alex's passing. He and I worked together at Upjohn. Alex was quiet, but so kind and thoughtful. Every year at Christmas he would buy Judy (who also worked with us) and I Godiva chocolates because he knew how much we loved them, everytime I see Godiva chocolate I think of Alex. He was a wonderful listener, and while he might not always jump in with something to say, you knew he was taking it all in, and when he did speak, you listened! When I think of Alex I remember the saying "still waters run deep"
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
