I always enjoyed his part on http://www.freelists.org where he spread his thought's about SQL at every hour of the day, trying to help others with their problems (even during his own organized seminars).

I first met Lex back in the late 90s, when he took the initiative to organize trainings by yours truly at the Utrecht Oracle offices. Lex was a big man, with a big and wonderful singing voice, and a big heart. I always very much enjoyed my time with him. And, as Lucas, notes above, he was incredibly knowledgeable about SQL and the Oracle database. I will miss him and the world of Oracle technologists is smaller without him.

I will miss him and the world of Oracle technologists is smaller without him.

(and taught!) I was a SQL and PL/SQL instructor when I started at Oracle and Lex's depth of knowledge was an inspiration to me back then. It was such a thrill to meet and then get to know him over the years. We will all remember him. Regrds Sue Harper Hi Lucas,
