Max and family, Just opened the morning paper. So sorry to read about Alfred. He was always a fun guy to talk to. He had great stories to share with me about the 'old days' with my dad. Was glad he was so ornery. I am going to make a supreme attempt to come to his visitation tonight. I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you all today.
