Aside from being a celebrated businessman and generous philanthropist, Alex's greatest joy and source of pride was his family.  His beloved wife Faye, his four children, his 15 grandchildren and his 12 great-grandchildren always came first.  Throughout Alex's life, Faye, his wife of nearly 70 years, was his rock and inspiration.  It was Faye's unconditional love and support that gave him the strength and peace of mind to take risks and pursue his goals unfettered.  Together they contributed generously to worthy causes and charities.  Hospitals, universities, scholarship funds, youth programs, sports programs, churches, schools – all were recipients of their incredible generosity.
