Prayers and condolences to the Embry family. Alex was a friend, classmate, and teammate. We went from the 1st grade to Jr. High to High School together. We played all sports baseball, football and basketball. In 1969 & 1970, we put Richmond Madison High on the Ky. Basketball Map winning The 44th District & 11th Regional Championships, defeating all of the larger Lexington Schools and going to The State Tournament 2 years in a row. Alex was an integral part of those victories. Alex had a personality larger that life and you knew it when he walked into a room. RIP MY Brother. You Are Already Missed. Eddie Freeman
