Alex was known to his friends and colleagues as a smart and kind person and taught his students not only chemistry but often skiing as well. He will be missed so much by his family and friends. He always organized grandiose parties, and he was known to everyone as an exceptionally generous host.”—Greta Auf der Maur, daughter
