Alex Elias Mansour

Alex hired me to work in the UDOT structural department in 1966. He was an amazing man and engineer. I departed and went on to graduate school and a long academic career at University of Illinois, but never forgot the experiences I had working for Alex, and just found his obit. A very impressive man and engineer!!! RIP Alex!

I worked with Alex in Swaziland in the spring of 1992. We were both Civil Engineers, as I recall I was 11 years younger then him. I was there for 5 weeks, he was t here several weeks longer. He spent one weekend in Kruger Park, the best park in the world. We lived in a town house outside of the capital. We were doing rehab studies on rural roads. We got lost many times and saw a lot of wonderful sites. We did work hard and long hours. Alex did not always trust the computer skills. He...

We enjoyed your Mom and Dad and the friendship we shared as being neighbors. We know they are both happier now. Hope you are doing okay Tina. We send our love to all the family.

I first met Alex when I joined Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 2 F & A M in 1969 and he was in the line to be Master in 1972. For many years we spent Monday nights together and while we had different vocations, we were always friends and brothers. I last saw Alex at a Mt. Moriah Birthday party at the Alta Club and he looked well. We visited while we were at the same table and reminiced over past experiences. He loved Cedar City. I will miss my friend and brother.

Although I have not seen either Alex nor Dorothy for several years, I have missed them both and have though about them very often. Dorothy and I were out having dinner, the night she first met Alex at the Athenian. Their courtship was a joy to behold and he treated her like a princess.
They were a wonderful couple and Alex has now joined his bride and the world has lost so much. May they both rest in peace.

Having no memory of meeting A.E., I knew his family well. His sweet mother gave me piano lessons - a true lady who always had beautiful flower gardens. His father, loved cigars, had a friendly, outgoing personality and always a broad smile. An immigrant at an early age, he was a tremendous asset to the USA and at one time he was Mayor of our tiny, safe town of Smithers. My family often shopped in his department store in Smithers, WV and later when he relocated to Montgomery, WV. Sometimes I...

Truly a great and humble man as his last instructions were to not make a fuss over his passing. That is hard for me to honor. I feel extremely fortunate to have met both Alex and Dorothy (very hard to think of either without the other).It has also been my pleasure to have known those that I have met from the extended Mansour Family (Tina, Tim, Sam and Clare) over the past 30 years. I am a much richer person for having met them all. Alex was truly a hero of mine and someone I looked up to and...
