Alex was also a philanthropist.He donated millions of dollars to his alma mater the University of Ottawa and a building there is named after him.He was back home last October for a football game between the Ottawa U.Gee-Gees and Carleton Ravens.He walked in wearing an early '60's U.of O. sweater and jeans .No entourage just Alex walking around shaking hands with people.He was given the key to the city a few years ago and quipped to the mayor about his speech "I'm going to take it back to California you make me sound important".Very self deprecating and humble man.
