Having deep Southern roots, in every sense, Robert embodied all things Southern. He began his career early on as a Commercial Fisherman. Robert's knowledge, skills, and abilities of both the oyster and shrimping industry were profound. We are often told to obtain a career that does not feel like work, Robert did just that. The fishing industry served as both his livelihood and leisure enjoyment. It has been said that, "A Fisherman knows that the sea is dangerous, but he has never found a reason to stay ashore." This was the life of Robert Alexander.

Beyond his work as a Fisherman, Robert was very soft spoken. Many friends and family members describe him as a laid-back kind of guy. He enjoyed riding his bike and hanging out with friends. His most favorable highlight of the year was attending the "Pass Parade". In truest Southern culture, Robert was always ready to, "laissez le bon temps rouler (let the good times roll). Every Southern person knows that this cannot happen without good cooking and socializing, and Robert was ALWAYS ready.
