Alonzo Flores, 77, of Alvin, TX passed away on Wednesday December 8, 2021. Al, as he was known to all, was born on October 12, 1944 in Boling, TX to parents Cristobal and Juanita Flores
Al graduated from Boling High School and joined the United States Navy. He then married the love of his life Teresa. He worked at Amoco Chemical Plant for 30 years. He was member of the Knight of Columbus Chapter #6403. Al enjoyed many hobbies including learning how to build and repair items from computers to tractors.

He spent the majority of his retirement babysitting his grandchildren with love and joy. He was an avid reader, researcher and writer. He followed in his fathers’ footsteps and journaled consistently.
The most important things to Al were his faith, family and country. He was a devout Catholic and was always reading, researching and sharing his love of God and The Church. His family was directly behind his love of Christ, he was afforded 52 years of the blessed sacrament of marriage to his wife and together they established their family of 5 children, 16 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
