Dearest Elaine, Leslie, Lori, Alison, Sharon and Bonnie, Julie, Jen, Danny, William, Tom Rachael, Dan and everyone who knew and loved Alfie. Robin and I want to send you our deepest condolences on Al's passing. It's been a long productive life with many wonderful memories. He was such a creative artistic person always busy doing something either maintenance of the domicile or making some new piece of art. I so admired him for providing a warm and loving home for my sister and my five nieces. My favorite time while visiting was sitting around the morning table drinking coffee, reading the newspaper and discussing the days events with him. In my dream the other night I saw him sitting at the kitchen table having coffee with Nane.
Love and many hugs to all of you.
Ruby Gail Rudman and Robin Anderson
