Alexander William ‘Alex’ Cipriano
YORKTOWN Alexander William “Alex” Cipriano, 90, passed away on April 3, 2021, in his home as he wanted.
Alexander was born Nov. 1, 1930, in Brooklyn, New York, the last of nine children. His first public service began with lying about his age at 14 to join the U.S. National Guard during World War II. After graduating from Niagara University on an ROTC scholarship in 1954, he was commissioned in the U.S. Army as second lieutenant and assigned to Wertheim, Germany.
There, he met Anne Halling, a school teacher from Kansas, who he called the love of his life. Married in 1956, they, along with their five children, traveled extensively and lived in 30 different homes during their 64-year marriage. At each station, they created a home, friends and family. His distinguished 30-year military career included multiple tours in Europe, Korea and Vietnam, where he earned the Soldier’s Medal for Heroism and multiple Purple Heart medals.

March 7 marked two years since Carlos Hunter died at the hands of Vancouver police. He, along with Clayton Joseph and Michael Pierce, were lost within a month. Since then we also lost William Abbe and Alexander Williams to the Vancouver Police Department and Kevin Peterson Jr. and Jenoah Donald to Clark County sheriff’s deputies.
At a 2019 NAACP meeting, a mother told Chief James McElvain, essentially, “My son is 15. He looks like he’s 22. He acts like he’s 8. Can I bring him to your agency and introduce him to your officers?” In my mind I imagined the implied conclusion, “so they don’t kill him.”
