Carl, age 91 years, was a lifelong resident of Gulfport, MS. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Tommye Williamson Alfonso; and his sisters, Theresa Alfonso Gulotta, Spena Alfonso and Josephine Alfonso; and his brothers, Nofie D. Alfonso, Gus D. Alfonso, Andy Alfonso, Sr., Nathan D. Alfonso, Salvador 'Tut' Alfonso, Vincent Alfonso and Joseph Alfonso. Carl and his brothers began commercial fishing at the age of eight with their father. They had one boat to support the family, 17 feet long 7 feet wide. No power or sails, just oars. Carl was educated in Gulfport City Schools and graduated from Gulfport High School Class of 1932. In 1957 Carl acquired the real estate firm of Cheney Realty and renamed it Alfonso Realty. The firm is now known as Coldwell Banker Alfonso Realty and has grown to be one of the largest real estate companies in Mississippi with offices in Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Pass Christian, Orange Grove and Waveland. Carl served in the U.S. Army during WW II and went through South France at Marseille during the invasion of Germany, moving north through Dijon, Straburg, Bitche, and fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. He commanded Company L. of the 399th Infantry of the 100th Division in the 7th Army. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Infantry Badge. He was an Army Captain when he left the service. The end of the war did not end his efforts to promote and preserve the interests of the veteran. Carl became a member of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Disabled American Veterans. He served as commander of Joe Graham Post #119, American Legion in Gulfport. He was also a member of the Retired Officer's Association. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Gulfport. In 1949, American Legion Post 119 decided to have a fishing rodeo. Carl was post commander at the time, and he was asked to chair the rodeo with the support of the executive committee. The Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo began on July 1, 1949, in a large tent. Carl chaired the rodeo for six years. The Rodeo now brings tens of thousands to the Mississippi Coast each Independence Day. Carl also served as chairman of Ship Island Fort, Inc. when it was owned by the Joe Graham Post #119 of the American Legion. Carl advised the members of the American Legion Post to return the island to the United States Government and the National Park Service since the title to the property contained a reversionary clause that it could not be sold but used only for recreation purposes. This was accomplished with the assistance of then Congressman Bill Colmer. As a result, the fort and island remain a public attraction for thousands of tourists each year. Carl sailed. In 1933 the first yacht club was organized and all eight brothers were charter members of the Gulfport Yacht Club. Carl and four other of his brothers served as Commodores. Carl loved the water and for years spent most summer weekends going back and forth to Ship Island with Capt. Pete. Carl also served as President of the West Gulf Coast Association of Realtors and President of the Gulfport Lion's Club. Carl was an avid reader and spend the greater part of the day over the past few years reading the entire Sun Herald from the front page headline through to the last classified ad. Thank you to Kathleen Gebbia for making this possible. Carl is survived by his daughters, Carlene Alfonso and her husband, Walter Ketchings, and Judge Margaret Alfonso and her husband, Cono Caranna; and one granddaughter, Margaret Amanda 'Mandy' Krucks. Carlene and Margaret would like to thank the dedicated staff, particularly Roger Price, who took care of Carl at the Biloxi Veterans Administration Hospital, Building 2. Funeral Services will be 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, June 14, 2005, at Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home, 15th Street, Gulfport, MS where friends may visit from 11:00 a. m. until service time.

Brother of Mark Cross and devoted friend of Jonathan Poche. Zachary passed away on June 28, 2005 at age 17 of complications suffered from Muscular Distrophy. He will be really missed by all of those whose lives he deeply touched during his precious time spent with us. Zachary enjoyed attending Camp Sunshine from which he recently returned. He further enjoyed walking his doggies, frequently going on trips to Disneyworld and racing his remote control cars. He got a kick out of wrecking them and having his Daddy fix them. Among many other interests, he enjoyed going to the movies with his Daddy and friends. Zachary was a very good video game player and enjoyed playing with his friends Danniell, his nurse and Michael. He played with his many friends on X Box Live where he was known as Red Player. He would tell Daddy how they wanted him on their team because he was such a good player. Whenever his Mom has a problem with their computer and no one else knew what to do he was always able to solve the problem. Whenever there was a problem with his ventilator and no one was able to solve it, he would talk to the pulmonetic's technical support team out of California. We were always amazed at how he knew things. We would ask how he knew what to do and he would respond with 'I just know'. Zachary will be sadly missed by Mom and Dad.

Vince, age 75 years, was a man of small stature who loomed large in every aspect of life. He was a self-made man, who came from humble beginnings. The son of a commerical fisherman, he was born and raised on a houseboat in Des Allemands, LA. These humble beginnings instilled in Vince a love of family and a zest for living a purposeful life. On this foundation he pursued knowledge, education, and opportunities for himself and his family. He funded his own college education at Louisiana State University and received a Bachelors of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering in 1955. He served his country in the Army, after World War II, in France as a Lieutenant in the Engineering Corps. Upon his return he worked in the mining and petroleum industries and earned his Masters of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from University of South Florida in 1968. He concluded his career with Cytec (formerly American Cyanamid) in 1993, after twenty five productive years. Although he was successful in his career, his family was the focus of his life. Vince was a loving and devoted husband to Barbara, his wife of 52 years. Together they raised a family of eight children and funded the college education of all their children - four with advanced degrees. He founded and ran a family business (Sportsman's Cove) and continually gave to his community through his service activities with United Way, Rotary of St. Charles and Holy Family Catholic Church. He achieved these things with a strong will and a soft heart. Those who knew Vince remember his friendly smile, generosity, sense of humor, daily zest for life, and an energy level that earned many affectionate nicknames...including 'RocketMan.' While God, family, and friends were always the most important things in Vince's life, he dearly loved introducing people to his love of fishing, shirmping and especially his favorite vacation destination, Grand Isle. In every endeavor, Vince lived by the Golden Rule and treated everyone with the love of God. This is the true legacy of his life. He lived a joyful and purposeful life that radiates in the hearts of eveyone who had the honor of meeting him. Vince was preceded in death by his daughter, Donna Matherne Meynard; his father, Roger A. Matherne; his mother, Bertha Cortez Matherne; and his father-in-law, Earl Baudoin, Sr. Vince is survived by his wife, Barbara Baudoin Matherne; his children: Todd and Marilyn Matherne of Houston, TX, Craig and Judy Matherne of Luling, LA, Amy and Chesley Simoneaux of Luling, LA, Susan and Guinn Gaubert of Luling, LA, Alan Meynard of Destrehan, LA, Vince Matherne II of Atlanta, GA, Brett and Yvonne Matherne of Dayton, OH and Cindy and Scott Muller of Houston, TX; his grandchildren: Alaina Meynard, Craig II, Jessica, Matt, Alyssa, Joseph, Nicolas and Bailey Matherne; his siblings: Clothilde and Mitch Dempster of Des Allemands, LA, Carrie Loupe of Des Allemands, LA, Martha and Charles Carlos of Luling, LA and Landry and Patsy Matherne of Des Allemands, LA; and his mother-in-law, Mercedes Baudoin of Raceland, LA.
