Son of Emmett Marvin and Lucy (Watkins) Alley
W. C "Dub" Alley of Eagle Lake passed away at his home May 16, at the age of 89 years 11 months and 11 days.
Dub was born on June 5, 1918 in Navasota, Texas. He and Alma married in St. Paul's Episcopal Church in 1937. That same year he went to work for Texas Southeastern Gas Company. They and young daughter Doris Ann moved to Brenham, then Bellville and finally to Eagle Lake in December, 1945 as the Manager for the Gas Company. In 1959 he became the Public Works Director for the City of Eagle Lake. He left the city in 1977 to join the crew at Lakeside Irrigation and then retired from LCRA in 1983. Dub joined the Eagle Lake Masonic Lodge #366 AF & AM in 1953 (the same year daughter Jane Lu was born), later he was honored as Worshipful Master in 1983. He served on City Council from 1983-1985 and received Rotary Community Service Award in 1993. Dub enjoyed fishing in the river and his time barbequing at the river camp with his friends and family. He enjoyed traveling even as a young man but especially loved his three trips to Alaska. Dub's competitive nature and quick mind always gave him an edge during a good game of dominoes with friends and family. Dub is survived by daughters, Doris Laughlin and husband, Dick, of Columbus, Jane Alley Meldahl and husband, Dave, of Eagle Lake; sister, Lillian Oliver of Beaumont; grandchildren, Cheryl Laughlin, Bonnie Fournier and husband, Tony, Richard Laughlin II, Eric Meldahl and wife, Tamara, Mike Paschall, Brian Meldahl, Alysen Reid Bilson and husband, Ryon; great-grandchildren, Curtis Fournier, Taylor Brimage, Steven Fournier, Haylee Laughlin, Brett Brimage, Richard Laughlin III, Reagan Laughlin, Aryn Bilson, Colin Paschall and Carson Meldahl; great-great grandchild, Anissa Fournier; and nephew, Steven Oliver of Austin.

Pallbearers were Ryon Bilson, Earl Braden, Sr., Earl Braden, Jr., Fred "Butch" Broesche, Michael Duarte, Forest English, Ralph "Rooster" Gertson, Craig Guthman, David Guthman, Tommy Guthman, Steve Herman, Monte Hunter, Steven Meinecke, Walter Meitzen, Jr., Steven Oliver, Dewayne Pagel, Joe Lee Perez, Thurston Webb and Wayne Lipperdt.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m., Sunday, May 18, at the Eagle Lake Funeral Home with Rev. Steve Whitfield officiating. Interment of his ashes will be at 8 p.m., Thursday June 5th (on what would have been his 90th birthday), at the Lakeside Cemetery.
