<div dir="ltr">All:<div><br></div><div>It is with great sadness and shock that I write this. Bruce and I went way back. He was always a great joy to be around. We first met as graduate students at the University of Florida in the early 80's. Following graduation roughly a decade passed before we ran into each other again at CIDEIM. I had the opportunity to spend a considerable amount of time with Bruce collecting Lutzomyia longipalpis at field sites throughout Colombia. These were some of the best experiences of my career. He was a great field biologist, with vast knowledge of the natural history of sand flies. With his help we made successful collections from every site we visited. But it was the time in the evening after work that form the basis of my fondest memories of Bruce. Probably best to skip the details but suffice to say that those memories never fail to bring a smile to my face. Although I have not seen Bruce for quite some time now knowing that he is no longer around makes my world a less happy place.</div><div><br></div><div>My deepest and most sincere condolences go to all his other friends and family.</div><div><br></div><div>Greg Lanzaro</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 24, 2016 at 2:30 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeffreyj@usp.br" target="_blank">jeffreyj@usp.br</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt;color:#000000"><br><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid rgb(16,16,255);margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div dir="ltr"><blockquote>

<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>I have just been told that Bruce Alexander has succumbed to liver cancer.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>I am in shock. I had no idea he was ill or suffering from anything. This is such a loss to the leish and lyme
research community.</span></p>
<p><span>Just wanted to make sure you all knew as I believe you all worked with him at some point in years gone by.

<p><span>I do not know when this happened, but think it was in the last week.</span></p>
