Last night a memorial was arranged by Jeannot, Raymonde and Claude Mercier to celebrate the life of our common friend Alex, who passed away this summer at his Spanish vacation home. Following a mass at St. Ambrose Catholic Church, a group of 40 or so friends and acquaintances from the Utah French community as well as from Park City, had dinner at the Market Street restaurant in Holladay, near Salt Lake City. After working as a Chef on the “France,” a luxury transatlantic liner, Alex came to the U.S. in the late 60s and first worked for one of Paul Anka’s restaurants in New York City. He then moved to Sun Valley where he ran “La Provence” through 1985. When he came to Park City, he opened and operated “Alex Restaurant” until 2003. He was looking forward to retire in the French Pyrenees and his survived by his wife Mireille, his son Dominique and wife Irène, and two grand-daughters. We miss you Alex!

Alex's Bistro was our 1st choice restaurant in Park City for years. we became friends with Alex and Mimi and continued to enjoy his cooking through his catering to our home in Old Town. lunch at the Snowed Inn was the best on the mountain. his salmon chowder could not be beat.
Connie and I would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Mimi. we will miss his cooking and miss him even more. always the biggest smile of any restauranteur, chef that I have known.
and his warm chocolate souffle ! it will be easy to remember Alex.
our deepest love to Mimi,
Bob and Connie Sfire
please get this to Mimi. we would like to mail her a card. sfire@comcast.net
