Papa Alfred was a sweet man who never seemed to age. I can still see him walking down the driveway with Cocoa at his heels. He always had a smile and conversation to share. No one could have asked for better neighbors/friends than Papa Alfred and Granny Doris. You now have another angel watching over your family. And may the comfort of God and the love of those around you help you through the days ahead. Love you all, Michelle (Wilson) Keffer

I'll always carry the memories of Papa Alfred and Granny Doris and the times they babysitted me when I was a kid. They were always so patient and so caring regardless of who the person was. He will be missed.
