In 1996 as a brand new llu graduate and part-time faculty, I was fortunate enough to be a part of a committee headed by Wil Alexander. At that time I had lived most of my life within the intellectually rich community of Loma Linda, but even there he stood out like a beacon. He was incredibly kind and generous and I would love to have known him better and for longer. My life soon took me out of that community and I have not known anyone like him since. And I don't imagine I will. He had a loving spirit and his legacy will live on in the many llu graduates to whom he taught medical ethics and whole person care.
