I was shocked at the news of Alex's passing. He was a solid neighbor and active member of the Crestview Pool Club. We could always count on Alex whenever a project or clean up event was scheduled for the pool. He gladly pitched in when we did horseshoe pit maintenance, volleyball clean up, party decorating, painting, or whatever. He was first to arrive and last to leave, except this time he left early. He was a regular attendee of the Sunday Night Pot Luck Dinner, always with a key lime pie in hand. He would sit and share conversation with all the politicos at the club. We would talk about past concerts and bands we've seen. He was a model citizen and a good neighbor. I am glad to have known him. I am sad to have lost him. May he rest in peace. Bob

Our families would vacation together at the beach. What a wonderful time we had together. Lex was always so kind and was always smiling. He was no doubt the easiest to get along! Our love to his family. Mary Winchester Bruckner

I remember back in the seventies sneaking into LEX's room with his brother Bill at the end of the school year in eighth grade and pulling his Alice Cooper Album. You know what song we played on his amazing stereo. Pre-digital! (Sure we got in trouble) Onward! -- The Farmer Family! (neighbors while kids)

I went to Sanford with Lex and Tinsley. I'm not sure that I remember a time when Lex wasn't smiling, maybe on the soccer field. I'm so sorry for the loss of Lex. Gone way too soon . Prayers for Lex's family and friends.
