I remember his accident as if it were yesterday. Alex was the first friend I lost. I met him at Raymond Cree he was a nice guy and always involved in something. Peace to you Alex.Mitch King
When I moved to Palm Springs from Chicago in 1968 Alex was my first friend. We lived close to each other and quickly became best friends. I have many stories and memories of Alex, Scott Chariton, all the kids from Katherine Finchy, Raymond Cree and PSHS to fill volumes. I have kept in touch with his family members as best as I can. His one brother Lee was Palm Springs police chief for many years and is now on the City Council. I think of Alex often, wondering where life might have taken him. Never once do I drive on Ramon Road in front of PSHS and not think of that horrible day. I am sure that Alex would have kept in our little group and is happy that you have remembered him to this day. God Bless!Theresa Rivas

As Mitch said, we all had some pretty good times together. I won't say that they were the first to corrupt me but the words; "Strawberry Hill and Pagen Pink Ripple were definitely a part of our vocabulary. There was this little place we used to go, under the ice cream shop next to Taco House and I will never forget the crowd that hung out under there. We were at the Youth Center more than we were at home and I miss him a ton. At least I still have crazy Mitch to share stories with. I saw his brother Lee when he was police chief and told him he was the spitting image of Alex. He is exactly what Alex would look like today.
