Condolences
My deepest condolences on the loss of a wonderful man and soldier. May Alex Rest in Peace.
-Brian BlackWhat a remarkable man Alex was! He was always so cheerful when I saw him and loved nothing better than having you all around him! He never looked his age, I wish he'd shared his secret for looking so young! Thinking of you all at this difficult time. Leena Kennedy
-Leena KennedyI only knew your Dad for a short time and enjoyed his birthday parties. I laugh cause he liked to hold the ladies hands. It is always hard losing a loved one but know that his 'tour of duty' has come to an end. Stand Easy Alex. MY condolences to the Boucher family.
-Shelly ClausWell done Alex, you lived a full and rewarding life. You always told me that you wanted to live long enough to break the CPP Plan, close to it my friend.

We never did get to go fishing but we talked about it a lot. Laughed at all the possibilities on the trip. It was an honour to have those visits and get to dance at Pow Wow in his recognition. Love to everyone.
