In 1952, Alex met his wife Hanna. They were married one year later on August 29, 1953. Before too long, they started a family and would eventually have two boys: Rick and Gord. Alex supported his family by working as a dedicated and skillful painter. When he wasnt working, he enjoyed outdoor pursuits with friends and family.
