Please accept my most sincere and heartfelt condolences on the passing of Chuck.

My old colleagues, team-members and myself from the Los Angeles County Immunization Program have been deeply saddened by the news and join you in your unimaginable grief.

I was hired by and reported to Chuck Alexander (his official initials as CHA) for seven years, 1987-1994, in Los Angeles. Chuck was already a highly decorated CDC Sr. Advisor, and with his successful work in eradicating Polio in Bangladesh, he was well-respected within the L.A. County Health Department.

Soon afterwards, Los Angeles was hit with a Measles Outbreak in 1989, which was soon turned into a Measles Epidemic with over 4,000 cases.  Only through Chuck’s solid leadership, we were able to gain enormous support and collaboration from a wide range of community organizations and outside private/public entities, all of which helped us to conduct grass-roots outreach & intervention activities and finally eliminate Measles in Los Angeles within a period of three years.  As you can imagine, this was no easy task at all.  Chuck’s highly ethical, macro-level vision and no-nonsense professional trait, coupled by everybody’s respect and trust for Chuck as being the ultimate expert in Public Health & Infectious Disease Control, resulted in full success.

Under Chuck’s leadership, we were awarded the highest level of grantee funding in 1993, at $2.2 million, which resulted in a major expansion of the Program and hiring of critic staff.
Along with Chuck’s solid leadership, I must emphasize his sense of humor, his love of tennis and golf, and highest pride for Jeanne and Brad.  

In terms of his humor, I recall when he first interviewed me for a vacant position and I shared that I had been looking for a job for the past six months, he yelled out to his secretary, asking her to bring me a hot coffee, because I had been without a breakfast for so long.  We all cracked up!

Rest in peace, CHA.
Never be forgotten.

Oh my goodness, I was just thinking about Chuck over the last few weeks. He was my boss for a short while in Los Angeles in the Immunization Project after John Dunajski went up to Sacramento on a promotion.  He was a wonderful supervisor.  He had a nice sense of humor and created a good team under him. I do wish I had kept in touch with him. God bless his soul and your family during this difficult time.

Dad,
I will miss you more than you know. While I take comfort knowing where you’re at now, I’ll still miss not hearing your voice or sharing the good & bad. You were my foundation growing up and my friend one I had a family but I always looked up to you. Thank you for your love & support 
Brad

So sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. I worked with Chuck from 1977-80 in  the White Plains New York Office of the New York State Health Department. We were all CDC assignees. I was the Tuberculosis Rep.  Chuck was a great colleague and taught this Bronx boy a great deal about Texas. 
Sincerely,
Leonard Green former 685 series.

Chuck- we didn’t know you well, having only met you twice, but each time the conversation was enjoyable.  We have known your son for almost 20 years and he is a fine example of what every father would want in a son   You did well raising him.  Rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the entire Alexander family.  Chuck was my supervisor when we both worked for CDC in the Immunization Program in Los Angeles County.  To this day I treasure some of the important lessons he taught me, as perhaps the only true mentor I ever had in a professional setting.  I only hope I can be as generous with my colleagues as Chuck was to me.

Dear Alexander Family,

I met Chuck in 1972 when I was CDC’s assignee to Orange County New York.   Chuck was CDC’s supervisor in the White Plains region of the state.  We quickly became friends and I enjoyed working with him.  As our careers developed and we went on separate paths, I would see him at conferences, training meetings, and the like.  We kept in touch and discussed issues of importance by phone and later by email.  In  1988, I replaced Chuck as the Immunization Program Manager in Tennessee after he went to Florida.  He was a good friend, a reliable sounding board for me, and a mentor in my early career.  I’m sad to learn of his passing.  May God’s peace comfort you now and always.

Chuck had such a special way of always making you feel included and loved. I will miss his laugh and his warmth.  My heart aches especially for Jeanne as she mourns her husband, and for Brad as he grieves his father. Chuck welcomed me into this family with open arms, and I will forever cherish his kindness. With all my love Carla

Loved playing pool with you and spending time together in the summers. Honored to be apart of your legacy

Charles,

I will miss your smile, your laughter, your dry sense of humor, your sage advice, your generosity, your evidence of deep faith, your caring for others, your love of people and your authentic personality. I will miss the deep love and affection we had, and I look forward to seeing you again on the other side. Even on the last day, you had me chuckling! You are one of a kind.

Rest in Peace.

I worked with Chuck in the Florida Department of Health Immunization Program.   
I learned so much from him. He had the greatest stories from his time overseas. He had a great sense of humor and was fiercely protective of his people.  
He also took the time to listen to new ideas and consider them. 
He was an all around good guy and mentor. 

Fair winds and following seas Chuck!

I worked with Chuck at the Florida Department of Health. He was a great guy and always ready to assist the organization. It was an honor to have worked with him. Best wishes to his family, Bonnie Gaughan-Bailey

Chuck was an incredible mentor; a man of wisdom and decency, and a good friend. I owe much of my career and where I am today to Chuck's guidance and counsel over the many, many years. When I became the Immunization Administrator for Florida, Chuck was the first person I called, and thanked him for all he taught me. I don't have the words to adequately convey what a good, good man Chuck was. He is missed.

Jeanne I'm so saddened by Chuck's passing! He was my boss for several years! He was an awesome mentor with high expectations which allowed me to  grow in my career. More importantly he was a special friend who I highly respected. Love to you, your family and all your friends.
