Yes, but that quote comes from a nephew who never met his more famous uncle, who died before he was born. The brother who grew up with Alex Box said "Elec" as many times as he said "Alex" in the interviews I did with him.
You can find supporting evidence in the family for any of three pronunciations. That's why it's hard to say who's right and who's wrong. I think Alex, the nephew, is right when he says it's no big deal and that people shouldn't get bent out of shape about it.
