Alfred grew up in Arapahoe, Wyoming, later attending Riverton High School until his graduation. After high school he farmed with his father in Arapahoe for several years.
Alfred and his wife, Nadine Katherine Knoll, were married on December 9th, 1963, at St. Paul’s Methodist Church in Riverton. Fifty years later, on December 9th, 2012, they invited family members to join them for their golden wedding anniversary, to celebrate their many years of happy marriage.

Alfred and Nadine moved to their own farm in Missouri Valley in 1963, where Alfred enjoyed building his successful farming operation, and raising his family. He expanded his farm to include acreage in Paradise Valley, raising cattle, hay, beans, barley, and sugar beets. He had been joined in his farming operation by his son Roger, and his son-in-law Dan Forbis.
With his family, Alfred enjoyed fishing on the family farm, as well as camping, hunting, and fishing in the nearby mountains. He is fondly remembered for the strong support he gave his family in their many endeavors, enjoying their motorcycles and music, and encouraging their college and careers.
After his retirement in 2006, Alfred and Nadine moved to Riverview Heights, where they have lived with their son Roger and enjoyed the spectacular views of the Wind River Mountains Alfred so loved.
