I'm really sorry about Alf's passing and belatedly wanted to leave this message. I will always remember how interested Alf was in those around him. He was earnest, incredibly kind, and one of the most gentle people I've met. He was well read and I enjoyed our opportunities to share our mutual interest in Pierre Berton. RIP.

I very much appreciate your making it possible for me to join the service and have a chance to participate at a distance. What a tribute to a life well-lived. I reach out to you as you grieve the loss of your dad and adjust to life without his presence and participation in your daily lives. I treasure many happy memories of times we shared. I am very grateful he was a part of my life. Thanks for the many ways you enriched his life with your love, time, care and concern. We never had a conversation that he didn't share his pride and joy for you. Please take care. Love Phyllis

If anyone visited the City of Waterloo Museum on a Friday afternoon, they would have met your father. We estimate that in the 13 years your dad volunteered at the City of Waterloo Museum he greeted over 22,750 visitors. He always got up from the desk to greet everyone where he would then give them the run down about the latest exhibition. Alf left his mark here in many ways with all of the research and organizing he did for us. He spent the first 3 years organizing our large collection of slides from the former Seagram Museum. A research tool that we use often. He also loved pouring through the newspaper clippings and Council minute books to find the nugget of research that staff sometimes did not have time to look for. The later books were typed, but the early ones were hand-written not an easy task to read through, but he enjoyed it and chuckled with the staff at some of the things he found. We will be lost without him here, and he has left a big void in all of our hearts. Our condolences go out to his family whom he loved and cared for so deeply.
Karen, Jinni & Jenn, his City of Waterloo Museum family.

Our heartfelt condolences to you all of the sudden passing of your father Alfred and to your family. We saw and talked to him last Sunday in church, will miss his friendly face and soft spoken conversations. Henry and your dad had something in common, they both used hearing aids and Henry got always good advice. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
With love,
Henry and Tina Willms.

My heartfelt condolences Carolyn, Craig, Paul and families. Your father added a sparkle to my week at the museum. Every week I looked forward to our chats, his smile and that playful twinkle in his eyes! Alf was my go to guy for anything about Waterloo. He shared many happy stories over the last 14 years about his three children and his grandchildren with me. It was clear how proud he was of all of you. Alf showed us all how to live life to the fullest to the very end. He was one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever met, and a true gentleman. He thought I was joking about his "Alf affect", but it is real thing! I will miss him dearly! My thoughts are with you all.

I was so very sad to read Alf's notice in today's Record. I have such fond memories of fun & interesting chats with Alf at the Beechwood Zehrs. I would always take the time to go to whichever checkout lane Alf was working, as I knew I would be in for a good story, or just a warm, smiling face! All my best wishes to the family as you remember and celebrate the life of that terrific guy!

Alfred, together with Pauline, both of them good personal friends of ours, also served as deacons at our church. Sincerity and total devotion to these duties were their hallmark.
I might add that Alfred was always ready with an astute opinion on many different topics. He and I toured Russia and Ukraine a few years ago and came away with a realization that one is never too old to learn.
