KRISTEV, Alexander Alexander "Alex" Kristev passed away peacefully with his family by his side at Sudbury Regional Hospital - Laurentian on Sunday, March 27, 2005 at age 76. Born in Pleven, Bulgaria, on November 25, 1928, he was the son of the late George and Zlata Kristev. Alex was a Physical Electronics Engineer and Master Electrician who owned several local businesses over the years including Sudbury Instrumentation, Orion Electronics and Alex Electrical. Extremely intelligent with a warm sense of humour, he will be greatly remembered for sharing his witty jokes and Bulgarian proverbs, his helpful, giving nature and his delicious homemade banitsa and baklava. He is survived by his wife, Judy, of Sudbury; his son George of Pikeville, North Carolina; his daughter, Kristina, of Abbotsford, B.C.; and two grandchildren. Alex was pre- deceased by his parents and daughter Jeanette and will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews, extended families and friends whose lives he touched.
