Dear Aunt Betty and family,
Uncle Alex's passing marks the end of the original Currie clan from Scotland. Happily, Graham and Lindsay have ensured that the Currie clan in Canada will continue on with Addison.
I will always remember my Uncle Alex (or Alec, as Mom referred to him) as a charming man, with a twinkle in his eye and a cigar in his mouth, who never lost his Scottish brogue.
Above all, Uncle Alex's beautiful family is his proudest legacy.
With our love,
Elaine & Tom

Fond memories of the smiling face and Scottish accent that welcomed me warmly to the Currie home anytime I came to visit over the years. My warmest condolences to all the family as you treasure your happiest memories of Alex and the way he enjoyed having his family around. This photo is so typical... the cigar and the twinkle in his eye!
