In 1960 brought his family to Canada, settling in Levack and later in Sudbury. He was a police officer with the Copper Cliff Police and later the Sudbury Regional Police. He was a 50 year member of the Royal Canadian Legion. In 2004 he married Betty Longlade. During their time together, Betty and Alex travelled, danced, celebrated with their new large family and enjoyed the company of a close group of friends. Alex was an accomplished gardener, carpenter, cake decorator and choclatier, but it was bird carving that became his passion. His family and friends have been blessed with his beautiful creations that will be treasured forever. The family respectfully declines flowers. In lieu of donations, please do a good deed for someone, live well and treasure your loved ones. A Celebration of his Life will be held in the R.J.
