Alfred was my father-in-law. He had a great love for the military and for family. He children, grandchildren and great grand children will miss having him in their lives. May God's comfort and blessings be with each one of you, every moment of each day.

I never met Sam's brother, but Sam often spoke about him when we were visiting. I got a chance to try some of his "famous" bloody mary mix and it was GOOD!



May he rest in peace.
