He has returned home by the 1910 census.
By the 1920 census he is married to Sara Alice Vishnek(1897-1963)and her family.
By the 1930 census they have 2 sons Benjamin R Levy born 1919 and Irwin B Levy born in 1923, but Sarah says she is a widow and on the 8 Sep 1930 she is married to LeRoy Edwards Adams and her son Irwin has this husbands last name, which he uses until he dies in Nevada in 2005.
Alphonse siblings were:

Lazard Benjamin Levy 1893-1964
Florence Levy 1903-
Rosalie "Sadie" Levy 1909-1995
Sadie's University of California in Berkley School Photo 1928.
His father obituary doesn't even mention him.
I didn't find his mother's obituary.
I guess he will remain a mystery for a while.
UPDATE: On further research I found Alphonse son Benjamin in San Quentin Prison in 1939.
Inmate #64249
Rec: 9 Nov 1939
Crime: Forgery and Parole Violation, Looks like he was in Preston Reformatory School in 1937.
Also has a few alias might explain why I can't find his father.
Benjamin Raymond (Birch) Levy-Adams died 26 Feb 1962 in Chicago, IL
