Alois J. Brosch, Jr., 82, passed away peacefully on May 15, 2017. He was born to parents, Alois and Julia Dornak Brosch on December 29, 1934 in Hallettsville, TX. He married Edwina Mikolajchak on June 22, 1957 at Christ the King Catholic Church in Houston, TX. He was a longtime Houston resident, a graduate of Sacred Heart High School in Hallettsville, TX, and a member of Assumption Catholic Church in Houston for over 50 years.

Alois showed his love and support for family and friends in many ways.

He also spent many hours working with various organizations at Assumption Catholic Church throughout the years. Alois was employed many years by DSI Transports, Inc., from where he retired. He loved the outdoors and all it had to offer from gardening to fishing, or just playing around with the kids in the backyard.
