He was the oldest of his parent’s four children together. At a young age, he was baptized at St. Francis Catholic Church in Abilene. Freddy enjoyed working at Horizons for a period. He will be remembered for his love of swimming, listening to music, especially Johnny Cash, and watching football, he was a true Buffalo Bills fan. He especially loved time with his family creating many special memories throughout the years. Alfred always had a naturally happy and upbeat attitude everyday. He will be missed by not only his family, but also the countless other families who he shared a home and special time with.
