Mr. Alexander, who was 95, died of natural causes, his family said. He was born on April 20, 1907, in Clay Center, Kan., the son of Robert and Emma (Crooks) Alexander. When he was 9, the family moved to Durango. He grew up in the Animas Valley and the first job he held was as an ice-cream maker at the Hollywood Dairy in Durango. He then worked as a molder for Telluride Iron Works until 1964. After that, he was employed with the state of Colorado as a mechanic until his retirement in the mid-1970s. Mr. Alexander enjoyed fishing, listening to baseball games and reading history. He practiced yoga long before it became popular. He loved the mountains and enjoyed driving through them during the autumn to see the changing colors of the leaves. "We tried to get him to move to California but he wouldn't leave his mountains or Durango," said Mr. Alexander's daughter, Margaret Wilkins. He was a member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church and a lifetime member of the Oddfellows Lodge. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Clora (Mayn) Alexander. He is survived by his second wife, Kathryn (Wamsley) Alexander of Farmington; his daughter, Margaret Wilkins of San Jose, Calif.; his sister, Viola Kees of Durango; his stepdaughter, Janet Nelson of Aztec; two grandchildren; one great-grandson; one step-granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews. A graveside service will take place at Greenmount Cemetery at 1 p.m. Friday and a reception at St. Mark's Episcopal Church will follow. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 910 East Third Ave., Durango 81301 or to a charity of choice. Contributor: Barbara Downing (45465291) • [email protected]
