I mentioned this in the watercooler thread, but thought I would give it its own post.
Alex was very active in the solidworks forums (all iterations of it) since before I became
a member in 2017. I noticed a while ago that he hadn’t been active, but it slipped my mind and I didn’t think any more about it until this week. After doing some searching I discovered he passed away at the end of October.
