Celebrating the life of Gregory Phillip Alford aged 56. Greg entered his Heavenly Home on Monday July 28th. He was born on June 25th 1969 in Gadsden, AL. He attended Hokes Bluff High School. Greg worked many years in construction. He loved his family and friends big, he loved so big that he would do anything for anybody in need. Greg was famous for cracking jokes and keeping everyone laughing. His greatest joy came from helping others and making their days a little brighter. He had a big heart as big as his personality. He loved painting, and spending time with his kids, and grandkids, they were his biggest treasures. Greg is preceded in death by his mother Linda Carol Alford, and his father Arvil Lee Alford. Left to cherish his memories are his daughters Amber, Amanda, Kristen, Ashley, Kasey, Ally, and Sydney. Brothers Barry Alford, Bruce Alford, Chris Alford, along with numerous grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
