He could often be found at the karate studio where he was a well respected karate sensei for seven years, and remained friends with several of his karate students.

> In 2006, he retired from Dexters, now Allstrom paper company in Windsor locks Ct after 32 years as a machine tender with a perfect attendance award.

> He was a stern man that could intimidate some people who didn't know him but deep down he was a generous man with a kind soul that loved his family with all his heart. Alexander loved to debate politics with anyone that engaged that topic with him, but had to be told quite often by his wife Mary to change the subject!

> In Alexander's opinion garlic was the cure and answer to everything and ate a few cloves everyday. He was often teased about his aromatic odor.
