June 17, 2023 at 4:43 pmAlex was the best. Shelly brought him to Tyler Hill and he fit right in with everyone. He loved people, he loved Basketball and it was just a joy to be around him. He was a “mensch” which is a good thing. RIP Alex. You will be missed greatly by everyone. Condolences to his family.

June 21, 2023 at 11:42 amAlex was part of Tyler Hill Camp’s golden years, as he was a legendary counselor and group leader for over 10 years, from the early 60’s into the 70s and is remembered fondly by a great many of his former campers and fellow counselors. Alex was my group leader when I was an 11 year old camper and it was one my most memorable summers back then. In those days at camp, Alex was also an archery instructor, with whom I enjoyed learning how to get an occasional bullseye! RIP Alex.
