I met Alex through our mutual friend Eric, right around the same time he met Anne. So I didn’t have the same one‑on‑one relationship with him that many of the people who spoke so beautifully at the service did. What I did have was a front‑row seat to something extraordinary: the beginning of a partnership that was steady, devoted, and remarkable from the very first day.
I mostly knew Alex in the context of his life with Anne, and in many ways that feels like a gift. Their relationship was a warm hearth—constant, comforting, and built on a deep commitment that never wavered. It was the kind of bond everyone hopes to find but few ever do, a beacon showing what a relationship can be when two people choose each other fully and every day.
For thirty years, they shared a life filled with love, humor, and a sense of togetherness that shaped everyone around them. And in that time, they brought Anna into the world, extending that warmth into the next generation.
Thirty years is far too short for a love like theirs, but Alex’s presence—his kindness, his steadiness, his devotion to his family & friends —will stay with all the ones who love him.
Alex was a truly gentle and kind soul.
Wishing you peace and love, Sarah West Whitcomb (and family)
