Funeral Information
The Family would appreciate if you could leave a message to be put into a book of condolences for the family.
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
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
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.
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.
