He loved to laugh, travel, and enjoy life. He loved his home country of Jamaica and would frequently visit.

Alfred and Patricia raised their four children, Kevin, Dalton, Oneil, and Anniea, in a home filled with love and laughter. Alfred is remembered for his love of music. His favorite artists are Gregory Issac, Dennis Brown, Peter Touch, and Bob Marley, whom he plays frequently. Alfred loved to laugh and had a unique laugh you could hear a mile away.
