Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith....... It is the price of love.

On the evening of 26 January 2023, Alex Willis of Eastbourne, East Sussex died aged 76.Alex was born to Alex and Hilda Willis in 1946 in Glasgow, Scotland.

With a strong love for the sea, Alex spent a short time in the Navy before moving to Redwood City California. It was in California that Alex met his wife of 50 years, Nancy Willis, whilst building a beautiful sailboat.

Together Alex and Nancy raised three children, Stephen, Stephanie, and Sandra. In 1987 Alex, Nancy and their kids moved to Eastbourne, East Sussex where he became a well-known local author and luthier.

Alex was a Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Devout Christian, a True Gentleman and Friend to many. He will be sorely missed.

Alex a true old school gentleman who had a soft calm gentle voice and friendly demeanor. I spent many days with him when he worked at Essex Water Company, I learnt much from Alex not only inTelecommunications but life too. What is his legacy ,,,,well multi talented man in so many areas but for me a kind caring compassionate man who had time for everyone, a kind word for all and a man who lived his life and loved his God. I had planned to visit this year sadly not to be . Rest well my Telecom chum it was a privilege to know you . David
