We are shocked to hear that our good friend Alfred is no more. We came to know him and his family about two decades back in Toronto. When ever and where ever we meet him, he used to show enthusiasm and start-up a conversation with some jokes or inquire about various matters. He had been a very helpful person and even helped me during my election campaign in the year 2003. Alfred will be fondly remembered by all whom he knew. Lastly, we met him at the Christmas event of Senior Tamils’ Centre and was seated at our table, next to me. Our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences go out to his family. May Alfred’s soul Rest In Peace. Due to the present circumstances, we regret and sadly won’t be able to attend his funeral.
