I heard that on the news and of course the location was different , they said it was located behind coast guard auxilary , somewhat north of the pear. Either way pray for his family in this time of there grief.

I just heard about it today.

I have been working with Alex for the last 5 yrs. He was a very happy and funny person and very good at his job. I was just joking with him prior to the holidays, as he liked to tease me about not being able to dive with the cold weather up here.

He will be sorely missed.
