Family was the most important thing to Alex. His story began when he met and married Nancé 50 years ago. Together they raised a family that mirrored their values and warmth.

The ranch in Cheapside, TX and the house on lake LBJ were his sanctuaries, places where he could unwind in the beauty of nature and the simplicity of life.
