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
