Alexander George Schwarz died in Scottsdale on Feb. 12, 2013.

Born in the Ukraine in 1932, he moved to Germany with his mother, and at age 18 Alexander migrated to the USA. He started working in furniture building the trade he learned in Europe and then became a self-taught architect and real estate developer.

He and his wife raised their four children in a ranch house in Rolling Hills Estates, Calif.

Alexander remarried and started a new life in Carmel, Calif. and finally settled in Fountain Hills. He was preceded in death by his son and is survived by three daughters, his sister in Germany, and his wife of 31 years.

After two decades of research for natural healing of his heart condition, Alexander wrote a book of his story and his findings. It was his strong desire to help others. He will be greatly missed by many.
