Gilbert K. Alford Jr.

Dear Mary,
we are very sorry to hear of Gil's passing. He was such a wonderful person and we enjoyed eing with him at many Alford reunions. Please accept our deepest condolences. You and family are in our hearts and prayers.
Love , Charles & Joan Alford

I have lost a true friend! I worked for and with Gil from 1966 until his retirement and have been in touch every since. He will be sadly missed

John and I were saddened to hear of Gil's passing. He was a completely unique individual with the vision to form AAFA, and we have all benefited so much from all he did for us. It has been s a privilege to have the opportunity to meet and know Gil and you, too, Mary. We will certainly miss him, but just think of all the fun he is having now meeting all those dead Alfords in heaven!

We have all lost a 'treasure' but your grief is much deeper. I am so glad I got the chance to meet Gil. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I sometimes worked for Gil over at the Federal Center on Goodfellow. He was quite a guy. You and your family have my deepest sympathies. He will surely be missed.

To Mary and the girls, as I have heard Gil say. Gil will be missed in many ways by many people. His family, who were his love and support, his friends, who loved him and appreciated his kindness, and the Alford Clan who appreciated what he did for them in opening their eyes and hearts to Alford research. You and Gil will be in my prayers. May God give you comfort and peace.

Mary, I didn't want to open this email. Gil, your husband has been a gift to this world. God blesses so many people through his work. I will miss him greatly. May God bless you. Mildred Penton Richbourg

My family and I want to send our condolences on the passing of Gil. Our prayers will be with you. May God help heal your family

From one Alford to another, you will be missed dearly. May your hard work and enthusiasm continue to flourish among other relatives. Prayers to your family during this difficult time. We will remember you at the upcoming Alford reunion in Raleigh. R.I.P.
