The Leonard Bernstein family is devastated to report Alexander Bernstein’s passing on July 22.
Father of Anya, brother of Nina and Jamie, devoted uncle, loyal cousin, and beloved friend to so many, Alexander was a profoundly generous and compassionate human being, inspiring those same qualities in everyone who encountered him. He was also the funniest person we’ve ever known.

No cause has been made known.
