Alfred K. Schreier, age 88, passed away Saturday January 20, 2018 in Las Cruces, NM. He moved to Las Cruces in 2006 and divided his time between New Mexico, Avon, Colorado and Herzogenaurach, Germany.
He was born in Fuerth, Germany on February 18, 1929 to Margarete Schreier (ne. Klampfer) and Alfred Konrad Schreier. His childhood and early years were spent in Germany. Alfred's favorite early job was test driving motorcycles for Triumph. He was a European champion kayaker, an avid skier and overall athlete. Alfred was a wealth of historical knowledge and was especially interested in aviation.
In Germany he met and married the love of his life, Albertine. He always dreamed of life in the United States and after visiting and working for two years decided to move with his wife and daughter to the Chicago area in 1959. His strength and purpose-driven life resulted in his success. With his partner Bill Braunels, he started Basic Plastic Products, a plastic injection molding company where he worked until he retired. He often said that his work was his hobby and he loved it.
He and Albertine travelled the world, but his favorite pastime was skiing in Vail with his daughter Angela and his granddaughter Tina. He was a father figure to three nieces and walked brides down the aisle at least seven times. He stood at the baptismal font as godfather more than once. He was the patriarch of the family and will be dearly missed forever.
He is survived by his beloved wife Albertine Schreier; his daughter Angela Servies and her husband Stephen of Las Cruces; his sister Hilde Witte of Highland Park, Illinois; his granddaughter Tina Davis Milligan and her husband Robert, his great-granddaughter Madison Milligan of Avon Colorado and Kenilworth, Illinois; his three beloved nieces Gretchen Glader of Northfield, Illinois, Pat Kennedy of Parkland, Florida, Cheri Litvack of Holland, Michigan and their children and grandchildren.
He will be missed by all whose lives' he touched, most profoundly by his family. A memorial service and burial will be held in Germany at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mesilla Valley Hospice, www.mvhospice.org , 299 Montana Avenue, Las Cruces, NM 88005 in Alfred Schreier's name.
