  1. Darlene, Jim & family… So sorry to hear of your loss. Just reading about Alfred, I could tell he was loved and cherished by many over the years. May your wonderful memories and love carry you through. Take care, Steve Loos – AGC of Missouri

  2. I am so sorry to hear about your dad! I always loved seeing him in church with that warm smile for everyone. You’re all in my prayers.

  3. Lol, I remember him taking some what I thought was Crown Royal to a family reunion. Thought he was drinking some good whiskey but found out he just put the cheap whiskey in the bottle and in the purple crown bag. I thought that was so funny. Guess ya had to be there. Love you all! Sending prayers to you. RIP Cotton.

  4. I’m just now learning of Alfred’s passing and I’m heartbroken ߒ”. I only met Alfred 4 years ago when I moved my mama into Heisinger. If you gave him your hand to hold, you might as well plan on sitting a while because he held on tight! He was a beautiful soul! Dan & Julie, I’m so sorry for your loss. May prayers of comfort carry you through this time of loss. ~ Jackie

  5. My sincere sympathy to the Wieberg family. What a kind , gentle man he was. He welcomed me to Jeff City when I moved here with Shopsmith and always had a smile and a kind word for me.
