R.I.P Alex.
He’s been around forever and will be sadly missed by his family and here on IIS.

I have always enjoyed reading Alex's posts.
He was often outside of the box in how he treated the subject matter, and as such, got me thinking in a different way.
Alex was not afraid to express himself, and found himself banned from this forum at least once. But he always bounced back, larger than life .
I regret not to have met him in person, and will miss his contributions.
Rest in Peace, Alex.

I can only echo everyone else's words - Alex was the most positive person I've ever communicated with, his posts here were always interesting to read. I may not have agreed with everything he said, but he did make me think about things in a different way.
He will be sadly missed. RIP, and condolences to his family.

Just read this post and my condolences to Alex's family and friends that knew him well. I never met Alex but have followed his Astro journey on this forum since I joined IIS several years ago. His posts were always informative and his stories frequently humorous, his encouragement to beginners, his compassion and thoughtfulness and positive nature were very endearing and I will miss his presence here. May you rest in peace now Alex, with the understanding of life and the universe no longer a mystery.

It is a sad day for this community, Alex has been a name we’ve all seen around these parts of years. It will be sad not seeing his name pop up again. My condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear this. From what I read in Alex post's he had lived a full life with a wide variety of experiences. In sharing his life and views with us we are all better off. Rest in Peace.

My sincere condolences to the family.
Alex was a fighter, I was expecting to take him up on the invitation to his 100th birthday.
R.I.P. Sir!
