I just learned via Facebook that one of our own, Alex Robinson-Gilden, passed away today. Alex was one of the brightest people on the Boneyard and as ardent a fan as we had.
I had the pleasure of finally meeting Alex in NYC in December 2015. Unfortunately, we met at his hospital, because he was unable to make it to the game against Maryland at MSG.
As some of you know, Alex was diagnosed with the nasty disease of glioblastoma almost 4 years ago. He had at least a couple of surgeries and took several very strong meds. After a long struggle with many ups and downs, his body gave out.
Alex was a devoted father to two young and brilliant children. He took them to see the Huskies a number of times, so the family's interest in UConn WCBB will live on.
We all will miss Alex, his friendship, and his enthusiastic, articulate, and brilliant posts. RIP, my friend!
