They made their home in Monroe for many years prior to moving to rural Newton in 1983. Alfred worked for over 43 years at the Maytag Company, retiring in 1998. He also owned and operated Al’s Fencing and Tree Service for a number of those years. Alfred was a member of the UAW Local 997. He enjoyed going to auctions, gambling, riding around on his golf cart, and spending time with his family. He also liked going to All-Star Wrestling and never missed watching it on tv on Monday nights.
