    Sorry to hear about Alfred. I always enjoyed talking to him. First time I met him was when one Fall day I was driving down Darmstadt rd and he was working on hooking up the wagon to his mounted picker. I helped my Dad for years with the same picker so I drove out in the field and hooked the wagon up for him. He shut the tractor off and we talked for a while. Thereafter I would always stop to talk to him when I’d see him in the yard.

    I’m very sorry for your loss. Isn’t it ironic that the Ki g and Queen of the nursing home passed away just 3 days apart of each other. It was very nice to meet you all. Thoughts and prayers for your family.
