Alfred worked as an accountant, employed by Paul McGuire Chevrolet for many years. In his retirement, he developed a passion for photography, with his favorite subjects being lighthouses, boats and his grandchildren. Alfred enjoyed simple things as he got older. He loved people, and made everyone smile. He loved going down by the water while at his cottage in Maine and watching the ships go by. And if there was a lobster plate in front of him, all the better.
