Wow! I was blown away at learning of Alex's passing. I'm an old friend who wondered what became of him and his family. I used to live in the little village area and enjoyed his guitar playing back in the day.

Rest in peace my dear friend! Never forgotten you and the fun we had together.

Love you Big Al.
