So sorry for your loss. We knew Alex when he worked with my husband, Bobby, at A&M before it became Heartland. I remember we came to your house once many years ago and I believe we grilled out with AL manning the grill. We had a great time, of course, and enjoyed meeting all of you. Several months ago we ran into Al at LA Carreta and talked with him a few minutes. It was great to see him, he was always so nice. You'll all be in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this very difficult time. - Bobby and Janice Wines

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Ps. 116:15
What greater can be said of a believer than that he was a good and faithful servant. Faithful husband, faithful father and grandfather, faithful friend, faithful brother in the body of Christ - that was Alex Wirt. He blessed all who knew him, was the first to reach out a helping hand. His words of personal encouragement and considered wisdom lifted our hearts many times through the decades. Al was Bob's chief confidant - a once in a lifetime friend for whom we are eternally grateful. Judy, Kelly, Peter and family, we hold you close in our hearts.
Love, Bob and Betsy Nelson
