Unhappy Sad News

Catherine,
Thank you for thinking of "us" (the MLU family) at this difficult time.
You must know that, via this forum, Alex has had an influence in the lives of hundreds of people that he has never met. I regret that now it seems that Alex and I will never meet.
As said above, we will all miss his knowledge and humour on this forum.
You, your Dad, and the family will be in the thoughts and prayers of many, many people from all over the world. Please keep in touch.
The Holgates.

Catherine, please accept condolences from the Baker family.
There is nothing I can say that will relieve the horrible time you are about to go through, but know that in some way we share your pain. The world cant afford to lose any more good people. Alex is one of those folks that should have earnt a ticket to remain here permanantly!


As the final lines are written in Alex's book of life, know that his MLU family grieves with you.

Catherine;

Sad news indeed, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Catherine. Your father will be missed.

Rest peacefully my friend.

At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

Damn! I am really sorry to hear this. I was just talking to a friend on Wednesday and wondering why I hadn't heard from your dad for a while.
My prayers are with Alex and your family. Please let us know any plans. I am in Ottawa. If I can help in any way please let me know - 613-820-7350

Thank you all for your kind words. Dad went very peacefully around 7 tonight. I'll post arrangements once we have some details set.

On the one hand, we'll be missing Alex; on the other hand, he and Geoff can catch up!

Rest easy, Alex.

Catherine, I am very sad for you and your loss. I have only known your Dad via the written word on this forum. I have enjoyed his many posts. Thank you for stepping up and keeping us informed. Chris and I wish you and your family the very best as you deal with the difficult times ahead
