He was employed at Houston Meat Packing Company and advanced to the position of Secretary/Treasurer for United Food and Commercial Meat Cutters Union, Local 408, which he held until his retirement in 1991.

Alfred was affiliated with Green Bay AME Church and Ebenezer Baptist Church.

He met and married Lenora Ingram Morrow, to whom he was wed for 67 years. To this union three children were born: Gary Lynn, Darryl Earl, and Claude Elston.

Alfred departed this life on October 22, 2021. He leaves to cherish his memory a dedicated and loving wife of 67, Lenora; sons Anthony of Houston, Texas; Gary (Jacquelyn) of Oakwood, Texas; Darryl (Lucia) of Hunstville, Texas; Claude (Joyce) of Palestine, Texas: Eleven grandchildren, seven great grandchildren; and a host of relatives and friends.

Alfred was an outdoorsman from a very early age. Throughout his life he continued to be involved in farming and cattle ranching. He would readily share with and provide knowledge to others. He loved to barbecue and bragged about "making barbecue sauce so good, it would make you throw your meat away".

Rest in peace Alfred, until we meet again.
