tribute

“When I learned of Alex Young’s passing today, I couldn’t believe it.  I enjoy history and it was always a pleasure to have history-buff Alex at the Reese’s book club meetings, especially if the book we read pertained to growing up in, or civil rights issues of, the sixties.  He would tell us things regarding the history that we might not have known and regale us with stories of his experiences during that time.  I will miss him.”

“I am gravely saddened to hear of Alex’s passing.  He truly was an integral part of our Reese’s family.  He will be sorely missed.”

“So sorry to learn of the passing of our dear friend and Book club member Alex. He was a vibrant member of our reading group. Always had a wealth of information and viewpoints to share with us in our book discussions. I enjoyed listening to his comments and reflections on the history and struggles of our people as we were interpreting and discussing the various pieces of literature in our reading cycles. He will be missed.”

“Very sad news indeed. We could always count on Alex to bring good energy and deep insight to our book discussions.”

“This is so heartbreaking. Alex gave such insightful points of view whether it be books we read or any topic that had come up during our book club discussion. He had a beautiful personality. He will always be missed.”

“Sorry to hear this sad news.  Alex was a well read and credible voice in our group. His wisdom will be missed.”

“I am also so sad to hear about Alex. He will be missed.”

“It is difficult to express the sorrow that I feel hearing of the news of the passing of our illustrious historian, Alex. He was wise, he was bright, and always challenged us to look beyond the surface. I will always remember the provocative and enlightening discussions we had with him. I am sure that all who were part of his life feel the loss as deeply as Reese’s Reading Roundtable. Rest in peace my brother.”
