Born in Sydney Mines on February 18, 1928, he was the son of Neil and Catherine McMullin.

Alex was a quiet man who endeared himself to those who knew him. He worked at the steel plant in Sydney for many years prior to his retirement. As a young man he was a dedicated worker at St. Anne's Camp. For a pastime, he enjoyed golf and skating.

Besides his parents, Alex was predeceased by sisters,Florence (LeBlanc) and Mary.
