Alex Kent passed away May 1, 2013, in Cincinnati. He was 96. Born February 17, 1917, in Chicago, IL, he was one of five children.

He was a Mason and a Shriner. He was a longtime active member of the Episcopal Church. His wife, Beatrice, describes Alex as being "a great man. He was a family oriented, hard working and very outgoing". But of all his gifts, storytelling was the greatest of all, captivating any listening ear no matter how many times the story had been heard.
