Alexander Goodman Jr., 78 years old, was born in Franklin, VA to Alice Jones Goodman and Alexander Goodman Sr. On March 3, 1947, Alex moved to Asbury Park, N.J., where he worked at the City Yard and earned the nickname "Catfish." From there, he became a property manager in Lakewood, N.J., and later worked for Local 343 in Neptune, N.J. for over 40 years.
