Freinds from when Al owned Fisherman's Luck. He was a great guy, dependable, honest, and always there when you needed him. A truly outstanding gentleman. An honor to have known him and his heartfelt smile will always be remembered.

Theresa was my first friend, (she lived across the street), along with Keith Ashcraft next door. I remember picking and eating grapes with you and getting in trouble. But we didn´t care. Ha they were so nummy.
And my kids never dared get as dirty as we did in the coal yard.
God bless you, Theresa, and your whole family

I remember the whole family from back in the day. They ran a coal yard across the street from us on McComb st in Harvard. Good caring family. The one thing I remember about Alfie was he always wanted to know why. This was many many years ago when we all were kids. Prayers for Al and family

The Grieshop boys and Theresa were my cousins. I LOVED it when my folks took me to visit all of them in Harvard when I was young. Alfie was the ring-bearer at my parents' wedding in 1950, and I am lucky to have a photo. I was quite a few years younger than Alfie, but he was always kind to me. I'm sure we attended his wedding in 1961. My mother used to talk about the Grieshops as very hard-working people. I used to pick gooseberries with Theresa from aunt Mary's bush, and loved her hollyhocks. I will always have fond memories of Alfie and the rest of the Harvard family. May Alfie RIP.
