SUBMITTED PHOTO One final time last Friday, George Alexander âAlexâ Trebek eloquently, and as always with perfect pronunciation, presented clues on Jeopardy! for his contestants to respond to in the form of a question.  According to Jeopardy!âs Twitter account, Trebek died at home early on Sunday morning Nov. 8 surrounded by family and friends. Soon thereafter, thousands of former contestants organized mass messages of support. Twitter was also bombarded with kind comments from Trebek's fans.  Since Trebek's first Jeopardy! episode aired on Sept. 10, 1984, he became a welcome fixture in millions of American homes. Trebek though, was born in Greater Sudbury, Canada, in 1940. Greater Sudbury Mayor Brian Bigger said of the famous Sudburian, âWhen meeting him, you truly felt like he was an old family friend,â adding, âAn amazing ambassador for Greater Sudbury.â
