Alfred Workman

Alfred W. Workman, 61, died on Wednesday October 27th, 2021 after a short battle with glioblastoma. A loving husband and son, he is survived by his wife Susan and his mother Wanda Workman. He is also survived by step-children Erin (Alex) Tebben, Ben (Danielle) Morrow, Stacy (Geoff) Zeiger; special grandchildren Sam, Wade, and Lincoln; brother Dale (Edie) Workman; sister Donna (Jeff) McKenzie; nieces and nephews, and a host of other family and friends. Alfred was preceded in death by his father Alfred B. Workman and mother-in-law Anna M. Ford.

Al proudly served his county, by enlisting in the United States Navy where he was a submariner on the U.S.S. Alexander Hamilton. Being of service was a value he held dear. He earned an Associated Degree in Electronics from Rio Grande College, then began working for the Ohio Highway Patrol managing radio installations. His career evolved into Information Technology where he was a Systems Administrator for many years and finally was able to return to the career he loved in radio at CDG Wireless. Al enjoyed spending time with his wife traveling, gardening, and completing home improvement projects. He especially enjoyed escaping to his recreational property in Perry County. One of the things he most looked forward to was weekly “truck video” nights with Lincoln and visits from Sam and Wade.

Out of respect for others due to Covid, the family has chosen to hold a private memorial service on Friday November 5, 2021.

Al’s family is purchasing a memorial bench to be placed at the Cold War Submarine Memorial in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the family to help with the purchase of the bench.
