December 25, 2016 Dr. Alexander was a fantastic family physician and will be missed by many. He made a difference for the better, a life well lived.
We will miss our
wonderful neighbor and friend. He was certainly very special. So
sorry to the family for your loss.
~ Frank and Lucille Wagner
Dr. Alexander was my
doctor from age 18 and my dad's doctor for as long as I can
remember. You could not ask for a better man to have for your
physician or friend. God bless the family.
- Joe Gauldin, Newport News, Virginia Jeannie, I am so sorry to read about the loss of your father. We lost my mother back in September at the age of 90. I have such fond memories of both your mom and dad as we were growing up. I often felt like your parents were surrogate parents to me. Thinking of you and your family during this very difficult time.

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
