With great respect and affection for Alex, I doubt seriously if he will
rest in peace. My memory of him as a beamline user was that he was
demanding and difficult to satisfy, but in the end grateful for the effort
we exerted, and he always had interesting things to study. I suspect that
wherever his soul is now he's found something to complain about, and is
trying to find someone to improve it.
