I was reminded of Alex this morning when I saw in the paper that the history Channel had a documentary about, The Tuskegee Airman, which I set up to record. I had the pleasure of working with Alex for several years at the Columbus Control Tower. He was well respected and very well liked.

I worked with Alex at the Columbus Tower from 1971 until his retirement. He was always a an excellent work mate and helpful to me as I learned my profession. I always looked forward to seeing him at our get togethers and he honored me by attending my retirement party in 2006. He was a great gentleman and is fondly remembered by all who knew and worked with him,

I met Alex at an FAA Retiree's Group luncheon when I married Jack Faulstich. Alex was such a dear man, so kind and friendly. His service to his country and continued interest in service to others is an inspiration to young folks. He never let obstacles define who he was and had a kind word and smile for everyone. God will now enjoy his company.
Sincerely,
Kathi Faulstich

I had the honor and privilage of escourting the guest Tuskegee Airmen at an airshow at Rickenbacker AB while I was serving with the Ohio Air National Guard. I was impressed with these Gentlemen not only for their impressive wartime service but their continuing service in civilian life after the war. I am a sponsor of the Red Tail Progect a replica of the P-51 aircraft that exibits the history of the Tuskegee Airmen. May Alex and the others rest in peace.

I was honored to have had the opportunity to sit and talk with Alex at Summit's Trace many times. He was a member of a heroic group of men. He was also a very gracious, smart, and honorable man. I know he is in a better place with a new mind and purpose. We will never be able to repay his service as a Tuskegee Airman nor as a role model. Thank you Alex, may you go with God.

Mr. Boudreaux left a memorable history to the people here in Columbus, Oh. Speaking on the stories of the Tuskeegee Airmen during February Black History Month has enlightened us young and old alike. He and his fellow Airmen appearing at Nationwide Insurance downtown and most recently at the Ohio Statehouse Atrium brought awareness many people were not even known. We are forever grateful for their contribution and sacrifices to their country.

Alex would often come by after church and visit ‘Perry’ (William David Perry, aka POP, deceased) and our family who would talk and talk and talk with us and our children. Alex would always ask me what she had baked lately, and loved my peach cobbler. He was sorry that Perry had such a great mind but was confined to his wheelchair but always offered words of comfort and support to keep Perry’s spirits up. Alex sometimes would assist Perry playing his pinochle cards with friends. Thank you Alex, I will miss you.

Uncle Alex was a wonderful role model and story teller to me. I always loved going to visit him and Aunt Mary at their house on Greenway. I'm extremely grateful that I was able to introduce my son Maximilian to Uncle Alex who of course was wonderful as usual; encouraging and inspiring my son on the importance of education and telling him stories of his good old days.
Thank you for the fond memories. We will miss you and your kind spirit.
