Question Alzheimer's personality type

Do you know someone or have you known someone with Alzheimer's disease? If so, how would you describe their personality before they had Alzheimer's? What general traits or characteristics did they have?

For example: My father was a very quiet non-talkative person. He was easy going and easy to get along with but would get agitated if any family member tried to get him into a conversation about something that he was not familiar with. In other words, he did not like to use his imagination or speculate about something he was not familiar with.

I'm sure that not everyone with Alzheimer's has the same personality but I'm just wondering if there's a certain personality type that is more prone to it.
