My dear friend, Alex (ambaker ) is gone from Earth.
His body died last night in his sleep. His wife, sweet Sharon, said they think it was a heart attack.
He and Sharon visited here with Hubby and me many times on their way to and from Florida. He was/is such a giving spirit... full of funny stories, giving encouragement, laughing at himself as he told another story.
Oh, that's devastating. And he just came "back" yesterday, brand new blue shirt, then *poof* :-( It makes no sense. Rest in peace, old buddy. We never met, but I sure wish we had :-(
Wow... Very saddened to hear this. I haven't been around much but came back to participate in the last DPL and Alex was my teammate... He was a Great person, photographer and teammate who will most certainly be missed. My regards to his wife and his family.
This is really sad. After he posted the other day, and mentioned retirement, I had a look at his profile. Same age as me :-(
I'm glad he had decided not to keep working, and hope he really enjoyed what retirement he had.
Condolences to Sharon.
AMBaker an online friend of the first tier.
while I know we all must find our way to the next step,
I am grateful that Alex' way was quick and peaceful.
Alex you are in my thoughts with great appreciation.
We lost a great spirit.. I had the pleasure of being on two teams with Alex. He was a very noble gentleman and will be missed. Condolences to his family.
This is so sad. He was just here saying he decided to trade paid time for free time and wanted to start enjoying his retirement of free time. May he rest in peace and my thoughts go out to his family. Thanks for letting us know Lydia.
