| Alejos |
Larry Alejos, 57, died Dec. 27.
Alejos was born in Dallas on Dec. 29, 1950. He grew up in Dallas but spent a number of years living in Chicago working for elite restaurants, and in Atlanta working for a catering firm.
He returned to Dallas in 1998 and was most proud of working at the Melrose Hotel at Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs where his career was interrupted due to illness.
He always boasted of having worked at a five-star hotel.
Alejos loved family and meeting people. He loved to laugh and was always ready to entertain family and friends. He will be greatly missed and his death has created a huge hole in so many hearts.
He is survived by his longtime companion, Dale Edwin Gray; his mother, Angie O’Brien; his step-father, Lupe O’Brien; his brother, John Alejos Jr.; his brother and sister-in-law, Fred and Sylvia Alejos; his sisters and brothers-in-law, Margaret and Carlos Tobias and Mary and Jesse Paredes; nine nieces, five nephews and numerous grand-nieces and -nephews.

I was sorry to hear of Larry Alejo’s death. We were together but a few months and yet shared so much on the South Carolina coast and in Atlanta for some “interesting” times. I hope he found peace.
