      Rest In Peace my dear Alfred. I will miss our talks on the phone and our silly conversations on your porch. I’m glad I had the honor of caring for you during your final years. Sharing your stories of hard work and dedication to your business was always an inspiration. I’m glad you are finally with your lost family and your best friend Buster!

    I was so very sorry to hear of Al’s passing. Our families were good friends in the Valley and I served as Joan and Al’s flower girl at their wedding. May he rest in peace.

    Very sorry to hear about Al. I have known Al since we were kids living in Middle Valley and Long Valley. He then moved down the street from me in Independence. Al has had a hard life, hopefully now he will rest in peace.

    I am just finding this! Al & I were good friends for many years. I left Hackettstown in 2003 & we lost touch. He helped me develop my property at Sunset Point, Hope N J. My parents loved Al & so did everyone who knew him; The gentle giant! He was one of my best friends & I am very sad to find out that I missed the chance of seeing him again.
