I was eating a muffin the other day and though of Alex.  He was the one who taught me that the proper name for the bottom part of the muffin  was called the "stump" (the top of course being the "cap").  I laughed at the time but now let everyone know that the stump is the proper name, and they should pass it on.
I worked with Alex at Woodbine, having hired him as a call centre rep for Horseplayer International.  I like to take responsibility for Alex and Amanda meeting there, falling in love and getting married.  
Hearing the sad news of his passing earlier this year just broke my heart.   I have great memories of laughing and spending time with Alex & Amanda and hope they are now together again.   I will remember Alex as having the smartest, driest sense of humour that always kept us laughing at the call centre, and when ever we all got together.  My Friend, you added joy to my life, I will miss you, until we meet again.  xox

Grace, Charlotte, Peter,  Melissa, Shawn, and Peter L.:

I was saddened to learn of Alex’s passing.  He is gone far too soon. To his grieving family left behind, know that you were all very special to him.  His best traits will live on through his beautiful children and may the memories of happier times comfort  all those who mourn. 

Thinking of you all. ❤️

I was deeply saddened to read about Alex’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his children. 

He was a polite and kind-hearted man who touched many hearts and he will be sadly missed. 

Please accept my deepest condolences. 

The only words I can think to share is what  Alex might have said "this sucks".  Grace, my daughter Caitlin was a swimming teacher for you, I think when you were around 4. I worked with your Dad at the Bank and every day he made me laugh. Your Mom and Dad were both so proud of all of you, Grace, Charlotte and Peter. You brought so much joy into their lives. 
I cannot imagine the sadness you are feeling. Remember that you did nothing wrong, you did nothing to make this happen. 
Life can be very, very unfair.  
Take care of each other. You are loved

I want to extend my condolences to Grace, Charlotte and Peter, and Alex’s parents and sister. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Alex’s loss is beyond words. He was a proud and loving father. Grace, Charlotte, Peter, one of your father's many joys was to see you happy and smiling every day. He always remembered your favorite candies from Bulk Barn. Your parents loved you tremendously and their love will always be with you wherever you go. I’m here for you always; my love for you is unconditional. 

 Alex, your loss is so big, it broke my heart to lose you, you did not go alone. We love, and miss you more than you will ever know. In our hearts, you hold a place that no one could ever fill. Rest in peace, Alex.

Grace, Charlotte, and Peter,
I love you and I am sending you a big hug...



Grace, Peter, and Charlotte, my deepest condolences to you and your family with the passing of your father.   Alex was An amazing man,  he was kind, respectful and very thoughtful. I’ve had the Privilege of working with him at Bank of Montreal, Ajax Main branch.  He was part of our family and a good friend to many. RIP Alex , gone too soon but your Legacy will remain with us forever. 


Grace, Peter, and Charlotte, my deepest condolences to you and your family with the passing of your father, Alex. 
I worked with him in Ajax. Amongst a branch full of women he always would go with the flow, he was part of our family. Loved and respected by colleagues and clients he will be sadly missed. 
Love, thoughts and prayers to you all during this difficult time. 

Alex’s death has saddened us beyond words.  He was a gentleman in every sense of the word, always so considerate, so kind, so devoted to his children with a warm and sincere regard for others.
Please accept our deepest condolences. 

Anar and Karim. 

It’s taken me a while to process this news. I was so sad and shocked to hear of Alex’s passing. I want to extend my condolences to his 3 children Grace, Charlotte and Peter and the rest of his family.

  Alex was a great colleague and friend. I returned from mat leave in 2014 and Alex right away took on the role of mentor to me. I was in a branch he had worked in before so he quickly brought me up to speed. When he got his promotion a couple of years later he was an advocate for me to take over his branch and when I got the role he again was quick to help me settle in. He was always there to help and lend a hand.

  Alex you are greatly missed, Rest In Peace 

Charolotte Grace and Peter my condolences and  I hope you feel surrounded with much love . I am so very sorry your family is experiencing such loss. 
When Alex began working with me we became friends very quickly as it was so easy to enjoy his dry sense of humour and his obvious love for his family and warm kindness to his friends.  It didn't take long for Reg and I to be invited over to meet Amanda and the kids for dinners at their home and fireworks and video games at ours and I will always treasure these memories. My favorite thing was when Alex would drop into work after he stopped working at our branch and come into my office and ask me for a "Janet hug"  when he said he needed one- he always made me feel so special .  I will miss both Alex and Amanda and will draw on their strength and determination and hold them close .  My heart goes out to each one of you.


My deepest condolences to the family. 

Alex and and I worked together as colleagues. He had a fun sense of humour and could always brighten my day. 

Grace, Peter and Charlotte I am so sorry for your loss. Your father spoke very highly of you and was always proud of each of you. I remember a couple of years ago in December at a work conference running through the tunnels of Toronto together (between meetings) as we were both gathering presents for our children. 
You filled him with so much love and joy!  My heart goes out to you. Your father was an amazing man. 


I am heartbroken and want to share my deepest condolences to the entire family. 

I first met Alex when he was my employee and I was so proud when he quickly became my colleague. He inspired me with his work ethic and he helped me to be a better leader by his ability to dive deep into the numbers of our business and through his patience to teach me his methods. 

Alex was not only a wonderful friend to me but a wonderful friend to my family. Grace, Peter, and Charlotte you were all wonderful with my girls and they still love playing in the princess dresses you gave them.  

You could always count on Alex. I remember when my second child was born, he was the first person at my door with some much-needed pizza. When my father was in the hospital after his cardiac arrest, he was again there with a bottle of scotch and a sympathetic ear. Whenever I needed a friend, he was there. 

I will miss you brother. May you rest in peace. 


So very sorry for your loss. It’s been many years since I’ve seen Alex, but I have such great and hilarious memories of working together with him and Amanda at Woodbine Racetrack. Sending lots of love to their children and families.

My sincere condolences to Alex's family.

I had the pleasure to work with Alex. Even though it was for a brief period, Alex was always easy to talk to, full of kindness and an overall genuine person. Reading through the messages from our other colleagues it is clear that he had left a lasting impression, and he will not be forgotten. 

May you rest in peace Alex.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Alex's passing.  My deepest sympathy to the family.  We only crossed paths a few times in the past few years but every talk or meeting we would spend some time talking about our families and his love for his family was so obvious.  You will be missed Alex.

I am heart broken to hear of Alex’s passing.  Alex and I were childhood friends.  He was my first friend and my first dance partner.  Our families spent a lot of time together when we were growing up.  We have so many special memories.  Alex was a kind, caring and loyal friend who could always make you laugh.  I met Amanda when we worked together at the track.  I was so happy when they became a couple. Such a beautiful union.  Alex was so proud of his children, his family and the life they built together.  May Grace, Charlotte and Peter always cherish the special memories they made with their beautiful parents.   I am so sorry for your loss.  My sincerest condolences to the family and children.  I will miss you my friend.  Rest easy and may you have an eternity of dancing and smiling.  

I was lucky enough to have had the honour of working with Alex. Alex was such a positive heart felt human being who would offer support and help anyone in any situation. He had a heart of gold and loved his children immensely. My sincerest condolences to his family. 💕


My sincerest condolences to the entire English Family.   I worked with Alex @ BMO and remember him as a hard working man of the highest integrity.  I fondly recall the lunch Alex and I had several years ago while I was in Huntsville for the day.  Our conversation was wonderful, and we especially enjoyed discussing our families, and it was evident he was a wonderful family man and father.  We  ended the day @ the famous Nutty Chocolatier, where Alex ensured he bought a few treats for his kids.  Rest in peace my friend.   Remo

My deepest condolences to the family. 
When I first heard that Alex had passed away my heart broke, not only for him but for his family. I worked with Alex for several years in Oshawa and we shared many chats and he always made me laugh. The world lost a very special person.

I worked with Alex at BMO and got to know him as VPFPs working on the same team. When I started in the role Alex reached out to me and provided support and guidance. Alex was always happy to help and really went out of his way to make me feel like I could come to him. Alex was a kind man. I think of him and I remember his smile. My heart breaks for his family and children. I just want to say that I am so sorry for your loss and that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. 

I remember when Alex first started at the Port Perry Branch and with my FP team.  He was a great friend and I shared many laughs with him and talked about his family who meant the world to him.  Having lost my husband and raising my daughter alone, we shared the strength when he had to face the same thing.  When it was announced he was going to be our Boss, I was so happy.  I am now working at the Port Perry Branch and still have clients who remember him fondly.  I am very saddened to learn of his passing and feel for his children so much.  They have 2 special angels looking down on them everyday and I send them big big hugs. 

Alex was an amazing person.  He had an amazing spirit. May his soul rest with our father in Heaven. God bless you Alex.  We will all miss you dearly. 

I always wanted to thank Alex for taking a chance on me as a rookie Financial Planner. He took a risk on me that I will be forever grateful for. Alex and I shared a lot of stories together and had a lot of laughs. He was understanding and generous. He never showed worry or anger. He was always stylish in his 3-piece suits, even in 34 degree weather at an outdoor winery.  – I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences go out to his family and children. 

I've known Alex  from  his first day at BMO, and have many happy memories of him both inside and outside of work.  He was smart, thoughtful and generous and so proud of his children. I am grateful  to have known him. He will live on forever in our hearts. Rest in peace with God Alex.

My deepest sympathies to the English and Littlejohn families. Having known Alex over the last ten years as a colleague and friend, I can honestly say he was one of the good ones. Always willing to help, always willing to listen and always a lot of fun.  To Grace, Peter and Charlotte, it takes a good man to impact so many in such a positive way and that was your Dad. He will be missed but always fondly remembered.

Thinking of Alex's family during this time of loss.  My heart breaks for you all.  Alex was great to work with for the short time that I knew him and I know his family was so important to him.  My deepest condolences.

I worked with Alex for a few years at BMO in the Greater Barrie Lakelands market.  When he visited my branch, he would always speak to me about his kids and his wife.  He smiled a lot during those chats. 
My deepest condolences to Alex's children and to his family.  The best parts of Alex and Amanda live on in Grace, Peter & Charlotte.  The best parts of Alex and Amanda are with the rest of their family to help support and guide the children throughout the coming years. 

Alex was a great mentor and friend. I'll miss the many summer days spent out on the golf course. He was very intrumental in my career and I'll be forever thankful for everything he's done for me. 

I knew Alex as an FP at our shared branch in Oshawa, and then we both were promoted and worked up North.  He helped me on MANY occasions with my FP at my branch.  He was a great peace keeper in a few "intense" moments.  In one case when he was going to be coming to my branch he asked "can I bring you a coffee?", and I said in a stressful reply "I'm going to need something stronger" half joking.  As we had socialized on a few occasions, he knew my preference and he honored my request with a bottle when he showed up to visit!  I still have that special bottle unopened and plan to open it and have a toast to him!  He was the most kind, gentle human who always put others first.  He adored his kids and talked of them often.  He left an imprint on me as a person and I will miss our talks.  Thank you Alex, for the teachings.  You will never be forgotten.  Condolences to Grace, Peter and Charlotte and family.  

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Your father was truly an incredible person, and his loss is felt deeply.

I worked with Alex only a short time but whenever he came to visit our branch he always took time to talk with me, ask questions and make sure if he could help in any way to only ask.  He will me missed. My sincerest condolences to all of his family.

My deepest condolences 
Alex will be very missed
He was always so kind and generous and could always make me laugh. He was a colleague and a friend to me.
Taken too soon

 Not only was Alex a colleague  he was a dear friend. Alex always had my back and would always be the first to offer a lending hand. He was kind and generous always putting other’s needs first. He loved his family dearly.  My deepest sympathy to Grace, Peter and Charolette. Your Daddy was a very special man. Alex,  I will miss you deeply.   You will be forever in my thoughts.  Rest In Peace my friend. 

I had the honour of working with Alex directly for only a short time, however he had such a lasting impact on myself and my family. Alex was such a positive, caring friend, able to turn the worst of days into one of the best.  He would always listen, offer support and help anyone in any situation. He had a heart of gold and loved his children and Amanda so much. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Until we meet again my friend.

Having worked with Alex in the Durham market, we weren’t just on the same team but became a family.  

Alex impacted so many and won’t soon be forgotten.  We are always here to help the family with support.

Thank you for the memories Alex.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex for a number of years before I retired in late 2015. He was a true gentleman, always kind, always thoughtful and very well liked by colleagues and clients alike. I am very, very sad that Alex and Amanda are now both gone at such a young age. This is a tragic and terrible loss. Sincere condolences to the children and other family members. Rob

Alex I will always remember your kindness and support.   To Grace, Peter and Charlotte I loved to hear the stories your Dad would tell about each of you.He was a very proud Dad.  I wish you all the greatest sympathy and know Alex will live on with each of you. 

My sincere condolences to Alex's family.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex for many years and am forever grateful for his help and mentoring. I may not be where I am today without his help and I will always be grateful for that. 

I'm going to miss him on the golf course, it was nice to have at least one person in the foursome hit the fairway!

This was shocking news to learn of Alex passing I was proud of being his God father. To both famalies, please accept my condolences.

Sending our love and our deepest condolences to Grace, Charlotte & Peter, 

Ray and Monica Mitchell

I have been so saddened to hear about the passing of Alex.  I was lucky enough to meet him and Amanda at Woodbine when we all worked at HPI together.  One of my favourite memories was going to the Buffalo Bills game.  My sincere condolences to the English and Littlejohn families.  May he rest in peace with Amanda.

Love you Auntie
