Alfred had a huge impact on my family and I've been blessed by him being a part of our family. He was truly an amazing man. Alfred treated everyone with respect and love. He taught my boys to swim, to hike, ride ATV's, to do math. He taught me to see the best in people and not judge. He taught me to stay active in every way and enjoy life.
I will miss you dearly Alfred.
Love you bunches,
Martina Lavery
Al was a very beautiful person and I'll never forget all of the beautiful memories I have of him. I'm sorry he's gone, but I'll always remember him with a smile. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Truly feel lucky to have had Al touch our lives. He influenced us is so many positive ways as a neighbor and friend for over 20 years. He watched our son grow up and embraced our family as his own and we returned that embrace to him and his family. Al and I walked with each other nearly every weekday morning as he shared his scientific / mathematical background and experiences in life. As a science educator, I often share his wonderful conversations and intellectual thoughts with my students. It hurts to lose him.... but what an amazing and full life for Alfred. There will never be another generation like those in WWII. Love to you Mark and Jennifer and girls.
