Title: The passing of a much admired Rootschatter, Alex Liggins.
Post by: VictorianDreamer on Thursday 16 August 12 12:21 BST (UK)
To those who knew him, there are not enough words in any dictionary to describe who he was! It will leave a hole in the chat room and our hearts.

RIP Alex Liggins, a man of all men and a gentle one besides!

Condolences to all his family and friends...

Sad news about  Alex, he was such a gentle person, a lovely man and a fellow cat lover. Deepest sympathy to all his family, he will be greatly missed by all who knew him

Such a wonderfull man who gave me many a laugh with his sense of humour.  He made me welcome the first time I came to chat.  He will be missed by many.

Love to your family at this sad time.

I'm saddened to hear the news of Alex's passing. He was always so friendly and although he had a quiet disposition in the chatroom his sense of humour and willingness to help people with their Scottish research was always appreciated and continues to be so.

Rest in peace, Alex. You shall be missed.

Matt.

Alex was a lovely man who spoke often and highly of his real family but his passing is also a great loss for his Rootschat family.

RIP, dear Alex.

      We will miss him that's for sure.
      However we can be envious because he will smash all his brick walls.

Condolences to his family.

Such a sad loss

He had a wondeful life, he had written his life story and made it into a booklet.

Thoughts and Prayers with Lesley and family

I have only just learned about Alex's passing and I am truly saddened and shocked.

Alex was one of my favourite friends on Rootschat and in the chatroom. Many's a time he cheered me up and when he came into the chatroom he lit it up with his friendly banter.

Being a fellow cat lover, we often exchanged news and views on our respective feline friends.

Thank you Alex for being such a wonderful person who touched so many peoples lives. You will be sadly missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Leslie and the rest of the family.

R.I.P Alex.  :'( :'( :'(

Gosh Alex, you will be so sorely missed.  I especially liked your youtube songs.  I loved the "if wishes were fishes" the best and you'd often send that one to me.  It was so nice to hear you talk so lovingly of your family, especially your wife who you adored.  You shall be missed so much Aled.  Your family will always be in my prayers.  Love jewwel
