Death notice for the town of: Whitbourne, Province: T-N
To Melta and family, with deepest
sympathy, Doreen and I pass along
our condolences to the family.
Alex was a great man and
a great mentor to everyone that got to meet him. I meet him back in 1978,
when I went to Whitborne as an
apprentice lineman. Over the years we
never lost contact and I visited him on several occasions. He made the world
a better place and I will always cherish
the great memories.
Fred Reid.
To Meleta, Michelle and Renee, so sorry to hear of Alex’s passing. Alex and myself worked side by side many years. He was knowledgeable about our work and very funny, he always tried to make light of all the dark hard times we faced. Another good man gone. God bless you all.
