Gordon Alexander Obituary

Mystic - Gordon L. Alexander, 90, of Mystic (and Westerly, R.I.) entered eternal life Oct. 31, 2025. He was born in Melbourne, Quebec Canada.

He spent many years as a news photographer for the New London Day and the Sherbrooke Record in Quebec.

He also played the piano with creative interpretations for most of his life, entertaining friends and family.

Gordon had a very keen sense of humor, like leaving this world on Halloween!

He is survived by his partner, Shirley Smith; his son Derek Alexander; and three stepchildren, Murray Lake, Karen Freidel and Scott Alexander.

There will be a burial of his ashes in Canada at a later date.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
