Worked with Alex (csc), he took me under his wing, certainly didn't have too. Never could figure Alex out, how he could smoke a cigarette, the ash being as long as the cigarette. At the end of our work relationship, I did ask him something, he had all convinced (cons/guards/managem
ent) that he was crazy. I did ask him, was it real, or a game? He just smiled, told me all I needed to know. I used that tactic thru my career I'm retired now, but will never forget Alex, Or to me Mr Forbes. Just want you kids to know, he touched other lives. I am so sorry for your loss, Alex will always be missed. Sincerely, with condolences, Lisa.
