I was sorry to hear of Alf’s passing. I saw his obituary recently in the Zoological Society’s Annual Report We served together on the Zoo Volunteer programme many years ago. He was always helpful and considerate colleague, I remember in particular the children’s Christmas parties.

Paul ReddingtonDublin Zoo Volunteer

One of the nicest and most interesting lads I’ve had the pleasure to meet. Sunday mornings in the D.C. with discussions on the latest test match, past times in the zoo and his exploits in choral societies were a highlight of the day. Hard to believe and he will be sadly miss but always in the memory. Condolences to the family and friends and rest in peace Alf.

Ita KellyVolunteer at Dublin Zoo

My deepest condolences to you all. I had the honor of being a volunteer with Alfie. He was so welcoming to me from my first day in ’13. I spent many happy and informative hours with him in the Discovery Center. I learned so much him, I had and always will have so much respect and fond feelings for him. He was a lovely and gentle man. I will never forget him, and will always be grateful that I had the privilege of knowing him. To me he will always be the king of the Discovery Center! My thoughts are with you all xxx

Ken, Irene & the GirlsBrother & Sister In Law & Nieces

Very sorry to say goodbye to a man who had the biggest heart. There was never enough that he could do for you, his kindness was never ending. It is hard to think that he will not be there when next we go to Ireland – he was ‘the host with most’ and epitomised Irish hospitality at it’s best. Always full of hugs to give & a smile that took up the room. Lisa & Sinead will remember fondly their trips to Dublin Zoo with Alfie where you could see his face light up with joy at seeing the animals there. Ken & Irene shared his love of Speedway and remember fondly many family parties that went long into the night. Our love & thoughts are with you all and we hope that we may be able to join you soon to celebrate his life. We will raise a glass to him today. X

Frank BlowersBrother-In-Law

Very saddened to hear of Alfie’s passing. He was a very lovely family man and I will always remember fondly family gatherings and our Speedway outings. Much love to my sister Pat & Family

MaeveFellow Dublin Zoo Volunteer & Friend

I met Alf over 30 years ago on his very first volunteer duty at Dublin Zoo & he settled in so quickly to become a very dedicated part of our Zoo family. He particularly loved the Discovery Centre sharing stories with visitors, arranging photos with biofacts, & mentoring new volunteers who joined after him. He would always be first in line to offer help with anything being organised for those with any special needs & brought his Belarusian friends & Chernobyl children to forge a happy Dublin Zoo visit to their memories of their time in Ireland. He walked his own path without trampling on others as he moved. He was a kind, generous, thoroughly decent human being who I am happy to have called my friend & who will be much missed. Deepest condolences to Pat & all his family & friends grieving at this sad time.

I was sorry to hear of Alf’s passing. I saw his obituary recently in the Zoological Society’s Annual Report We served together on the Zoo Volunteer programme many years ago. He was always helpful and considerate colleague, I remember in particular the children’s Christmas parties.

One of the nicest and most interesting lads I’ve had the pleasure to meet. Sunday mornings in the D.C. with discussions on the latest test match, past times in the zoo and his exploits in choral societies were a highlight of the day. Hard to believe and he will be sadly miss but always in the memory. Condolences to the family and friends and rest in peace Alf.

My deepest condolences to you all. I had the honor of being a volunteer with Alfie. He was so welcoming to me from my first day in ’13. I spent many happy and informative hours with him in the Discovery Center. I learned so much him, I had and always will have so much respect and fond feelings for him. He was a lovely and gentle man. I will never forget him, and will always be grateful that I had the privilege of knowing him. To me he will always be the king of the Discovery Center! My thoughts are with you all xxx

Very sorry to say goodbye to a man who had the biggest heart. There was never enough that he could do for you, his kindness was never ending. It is hard to think that he will not be there when next we go to Ireland – he was ‘the host with most’ and epitomised Irish hospitality at it’s best. Always full of hugs to give & a smile that took up the room. Lisa & Sinead will remember fondly their trips to Dublin Zoo with Alfie where you could see his face light up with joy at seeing the animals there. Ken & Irene shared his love of Speedway and remember fondly many family parties that went long into the night. Our love & thoughts are with you all and we hope that we may be able to join you soon to celebrate his life. We will raise a glass to him today. X

I met Alf over 30 years ago on his very first volunteer duty at Dublin Zoo & he settled in so quickly to become a very dedicated part of our Zoo family. He particularly loved the Discovery Centre sharing stories with visitors, arranging photos with biofacts, & mentoring new volunteers who joined after him. He would always be first in line to offer help with anything being organised for those with any special needs & brought his Belarusian friends & Chernobyl children to forge a happy Dublin Zoo visit to their memories of their time in Ireland. He walked his own path without trampling on others as he moved. He was a kind, generous, thoroughly decent human being who I am happy to have called my friend & who will be much missed. Deepest condolences to Pat & all his family & friends grieving at this sad time.
