Sorry to hear this. Went to school with Alfred. He was always funny with his deep voice. He was a hoot. RIP BUDDY, a fellow class mate of 1968

We are sorry to hear about the loss of your father! We hope that the memories of him keep you smiling and bring you a lot of joy as you reflect on the life y’all spent together. I didn’t realize how special my father was until he had passed, but I think you are way ahead of me in that category!

Sorry for your loss Greg. He will be truly missed. I will never forget the time you me and Connie we’re sitting behind him and my dad (Uncle Herb) and we could hear him and my dad talking and asking each other who Harry Potter was and we all just laughed. Those two were in their own little world. We just all got tickled at them both. RIP UNCLE ALFREDâ¤ï¸

I’m so sorry to hear of Alfie passing. He was always very kind and respectful of me and my family. He will be missed in this life but, is surely in the presence of Jesus. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and with Karen during this time and the days ahead.
