Like so many have said - I loved coming out of the Mobay airport to see a smiling and familar face waiting for us. In 2010 when Catcha was hit was hit with Tropical Storm Nicole we had to move our wedding location. Alfred drove us to several locations before we happily settled on the first place he took us - Xtabi. He even attended our wedding! Last spring when Alfred was returning us to Mobay we had the pleasure of meeting his young son. Alfred was taking him shopping in Mobay for school shoes. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to know Alfred and call him my friend.
My deepest sympathy to his family and Tracy.

My deepest sympathy to his family and Tracy our thoughts are with you as well.
Such a shock to us all.
RIP my friend!
Sending prayers out to all his family and loved ones.

I am having a hard time going through old photos through my tears...
Tracy I'm so sorry.
Tracy-I'm so sorry for your loss-you know Alfred spoke very fondly about you!
We had the pleasure of meeting Alfred a few years ago when we came to Negril with our then 17 year old son. Our flight actually arrived early and his smiling face was waiting for us.
A few days after arriving we decided we wanted to go to the Blue Hole in Brighton and had left him a message. Well I guess the message I left was spoken too fast (he couldn't understand my return cell number) so he drove down to the Riu at 11:30 p.m. to return my call and to set us up for the next AM. Although the Blue Hole wasn't a full day trip we spent the entire day with him. We rode through the countryside; he showed us an old dilapitated mansion from long ago and showed us many sights that an organized tour would not have. He brought us back through the West End and over to the lighthouse (which is our profile pic) At the time our son was not yet driving; Alfred had him ride shotgun the entire day and offered to teach him to drive! Alfred was a very genuine and sincere person. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and friends. I find it heartwarming how a complete stranger turned into a friend!

We are both so sad from this news. Just finding out and trying to write this through tears. We were hoping to meet up with him last month during our travels. We are so sorry we didn't meet up. Another great Jamaican taken away so early in life.
We are going to miss you so very much.
Thoughts and prayers going out to the family and others who's hearts have been touched by his.
RIP Alfred
