Alex (Tiger) was a very big part of our life...he virtually rebuilt our principle home (cupboards, flooring, deck, gazebo, addition, garage, etc., etc.)...then he did a similar amount of work on our cottage. The quality and attention to detail was incredible...some people say "slow and steady is the way" but with Tiger it was "slow and perfect is the only way" His too many to count stories, while he had a another smoke...lol, were both very entertaining and very funny! The most memorable times I can remember were when Tiger attempted to convince Theresa of a certain way she "should" want something built...it was sometimes quite "loud" with poor ole Tiger losing every single time...but he sure would try!! Most importantly we want to express our sincere condolences to Elsie and family...our thoughts are with you during this difficult time!
