His memory will be cherished by his loving wife and best friend Ruby in Kelowna; daughters Jeannie (Don Bates) of Winnipeg, Janice (Dempsey Callison) of Smithers, B.C.; sons Andy (Helen) of Saskatoon and Ken (Libby) of Haines Junction, YT. He is also survived by 9 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren and a sister Edith Guest in Kelowna. Alex moved to Winnipeg in 1959 to fill the position of Executive Director of the Manitoba Association of School Trustees. After retirement, he served part time as a Labour Info Officer for the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce. Always a life long learner, he continued to enjoy golfing, his daily crossword puzzles, his computer, winters in Texas, and a move to Kelowna in 1992. In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place and a family gathering will be held in Kelowna to celebrate his long life. So dear Sandy, Dad, Grandpa, remember this Your humour and presence we will dearly miss From all of us whose lives you touched For those to whom you meant so much For now we bid you fond farewell With love from all who knew you well
