I met Alfred at the Vintagers show in Millbrook, NY several years ago. I had a Pair of A & S Castore hammer guns that had an ejector problem. Remo Salvinelli was there that year also and I had made arrangements for him to look at the problem in advance. Alfred's booth was right next to A & S and he had a large array of gunsmith tools and a work bench and vise. He lent Remo his tools to work on my gun right there at the show. Remo was constantly being distracted by the other people at the show while he was at the show. Alfred picked up the gun and began finishing the work started by Remo. In about and hour or so the ejectors worked perfectly. Remo gave Alfred the highest of praise for the work he did saying that he was as good as any gunsmith he had ever worked with. I tried to offer to pay Alfred for his time and work and he would not even take a small token amount of money. He shaked my hand and said it was his pleasure to help me with repairing my gun. He was a true gentleman. My prayers are with his family and friends. They have lost a fine man.
