For those of you who knew him, Alex Marciniak passed away on Tuesday May 3. Lex had built a home in St. James in the past few years and also lived in Grand Haven. He will be missed.

Lex had been fighting Hepatitis C for several years. As I understand it, he had a liver transplant about 3 months ago and had complications ever since, spending those 3 months at the U of M hospital. Yes, a nicer man could not be found! He loved the island.

I have a funny story to tell about "Lex". A couple of years ago my very shy niece and I were driving to town from her house, across the street from Lex's house. We were almost to the library when "Lex's" big white van went by and she exclaimed "Turn around Aunt Michelle and take me home, My neighbor is going home and I am supposed to go visit him. I didnt know him at all and couldnt see my normally very shy niece going to visit someone she didnt hardly know and so I replied to her that she barely knew him and I didnt know if he was expecting company, and to wait till her dad got home and maybe he would take her over to say hi. She said "Aunt Michelle, I DO know him! His name is "Lex", "Lex Luthor" I think, and he said I could come over anytime!"Until today I didnt know his real name.. You will be missed Mr. "Luthor", by everyone and especially the children in your neighborhood....
sorry

The address for Lex's wife is:
Karen Marcinak
610 Columbus
Grand Haven, Michigan 49417
I attended the visitation last night and it was truly a celebration of Lex's good life. He was laid out with all his hunting and racing memorabilia and tons and tons of photos. Everyone there could only keep talking of what a good man he was, and how much fun we all had with him.
