Alexis Leduc, 45, was a maintenance supervisor for Franklin Templeton Investments.  He worked on the 97^th floor of the south tower of the World Trade Center.

Alexis was born into poverty in Puerto Rico.  He created a comfortable, stable and loving home here in Bronx, NY with his wife Isa and children Adolfo, Cindy, Elvis & Alexia.  Alexis’ legacy book site reflects the love and respect of his co-workers and neighbors.  Alexia writes a heartbreaking letter to her father every year.
