I remember eating at the sandwich shop by the Babylon dock with Dad and Mom. Fun times! 

Dad, there are so many wonderful memories, but underlying all of them is the love you had unconditionally for us, your call to evangelism and discipleship, appreciating nature, your love of God, our family, and others, and your creativity in art, painting and drawing, your voice and love of  music, and your creative story telling ever since I was a child, .
 Some fond memories I have I’ll share. I remember walking at Southard’s Pond, as you pointed out the bird’s nests, eggs, the pussy willows, the skunk cabbage, taught us how to swim with the crayfish in the ponds, and how to  look for baitfish. 
You loved to be outdoors. Our trips to Bear Mountain and the lovely bead Indian necklace you gave me meant so much. You and Mom coming with us to the big white Inn upstate NY (the Cloverleaf Inn) when the children were little was the treat that made it special! All our walks on the beach , especially in later years, and collecting shells - was a treat! Time with you on the Babylon Docks and Captree - which you did with all of us - was time to visit and talk about the Bible, the Lord, to pray, and to have some laughs and listen to music. 
All our times in church listening to you as an Evangelist and singing for you and with you and our family  has been amazing. Seeing you work hard in many plants as a manager and then also serving Jesus as deacon, Sunday school teacher, and choir member was a blessing. Fishing and swimming off Steven’s boat and beach barbecue memories will stay with me. Belmont park gatherings and church softball games bring back some pretty early memories, and visiting Albert & Joan, Eddie & Barbara and your parents, Bestemor and Bestefar, as well as swimming in you three brothers’ pools- it  was a real treat! I love you and miss you, of course: We all do. But I love knowing you are in heaven doing the Lord’s work. May God continually work in mom, your children:for generations to come, and in those served- as your legacy, ministry, and memory lives on.

Alfred, Aslaug, Donna, Doreen and Steven Christiansen. It seems like yesterday we were picking out our outfits for this photo.     Our lives were busy with school, part time jobs, music, and sports. Mom was taxi driver, home maker, and worked for the town. Dad worked a swing shift as a plant manager for a company, and tried to come to as many of my softball or field hockey games, Steve’s soccer games, and Donna’s track meets.  We were all active in the church at this time, probably Bayshore Assembly of God Church and then Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle. It was a busy time in life, we traveled and sang and my Dad preached in many places. 

I’ll miss our talks together and our jokes, music, singing to the radio and laughs together. I’ll especially miss our coffee at the docks, scripture reading of the Bible together and reflections  together, as well as our television evangelist and TBN times together, but I know you live on in me and all of us. I enjoyed our book reading together in later years, especially “ Coming Home” by Billy Graham and “Shelter in God” by Dr. David Jeremiah. I love you forever sweet Daddy. I’m your little GullaKlumpin, and Tustabina.            🇺🇸🇳🇴🌸 ❤️🎶🦋⚓️😇

My last great visit with my Godfather Uncle Al -  such a memorable luncheon!  RIP until we meet again...  

My Father - the sweetest man I know. 
He was full of love for family, love for Jesus, and love of others. He had a pure heart and a deep love of nature and wildlife that stays with me. I treasure the love he had for me as his daughter and for my husband Jerry (Joe) and  his grandchildren: our son  Derek and daughter in law Ali Pinkerton and  baby Reed (his great grand daughter), son Joshua  and daughter in law Sarai,  Daughter Elisa Pinkerton Phillips  and husband Tate Phillips,  and our daughter Randi Lynn Krista Pinkerton.  Poppy was what they called My Dad, as their grandpa. He is their Grandpa who they have loved, also a Great Grandpa. There are s o  many fond memories. I love you, Dad. I’ll see you soon. In glory!  1 John 1:8, John 3:15,16, Revelation 20,21,22, Psalm 100 

My Dearest Uncle Al.
He will always be remembered as one of the kindest men our family knew. HE is the one who led my Father to the Lord. Because of that our families instantly became FAMILY. We treasure our memories with him, and his beautiful family. Our moments spent together over the years are definitely, and will always be remembered as some of the BEST of TIMES!! Laughter, Love, Prayer, Food, and FAMILY. Nothing is better than that!! And, that is exactly what we all shared- The Cuoco Family with The Christiansen Family.  All because one man was obedient to the Lord... My Dear Uncle Al.
Love, Laila and the rest of the Cuoco Family

Our condolences.  We are praying and we are thinking about you. We thank you for all the  Good memories we have shared with you. Good bless you Aslaug. So Good to know that we will soon meet again in heaven. Alfred has only leaved before us. Peace over his Good memory.

God Bless you all,
Love, Thelma (Kristiansen) Christopher
