Alfred was a hard worker and a loyal employee of Henderson Trucking. He was an amazing cook, famous for his mouthwatering deer stroganoff and sweet and sour pork. Alfred enjoyed time spent in nature deer hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and appreciating the beauty and grandeur of the mountains. Alfred loved to play games with family and friends, especially a good game of chess with his grandsons. For 29 years he was a devoted husband who thought the world of his wife, Rebecca. He loved to shower her with attention, taking her out on dates and never missing an opportunity to show her his love. Alfred was the matriarch of his family, making every effort to bring everyone together to make treasured memories.
