Visitation will be from 10:30 a.m. until funeral time Wednesday at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Larose. Mass will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the church, with burial in Holy Rosary Mausoleum.

He was faithful to his church and to his country by serving as a Marine in WWII in the Pacific Arena. He was crew chief of an amphibian tractor.

He was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Larose and also a lifetime member of the Disabled Veterans of America.
He attended LSU and SLI (ULL) with a degree to teach math, science, health and physical education. He was given credit for 27 years in the teaching field under the Lafourche Parish School System. He was a member of the NEA, LAE and the LPRT.
Alex was an avid cattle farmer all of his adult life. He was a member of the Louisiana Cattlemen's Association and the Lafourche Cattlemen's Association. He was a positive role model for his sons and grandchildren as well as his students.
