Alex was born in Grand Forks, BC to William and Ann Vereschagin. He settled in Kamloops with his family in 1972 where he resided ever since. Alex's greatest joys were the closeness of his family and one of his great pleasures was the company of his grand-children and his precious great granddaughters. Alex worked as a cement mason for 40 years. Some of his hobbies included woodworking and he talent he had for creating intricate works of art from wood and stone.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to all the wonderful staff at Royal Inland Hospital. The care he received from Dr. Boris Gimbarzevsky. We would also like to thank Drake Smith for his care and compassion he showed to the family.
