While continuing to provide Massage, Alfred became an employee of Virtus Academy in 2020. Becoming a Teacher’s Assistant was his calling to the students and the faculty who adored him. Alfred’s spirit and charm were an amazing bright light to all who met him. He was full of love and kindness. He was the socialite who never met a stranger and was the encourager, the listener, and the one to turn to for guidance and support. A Word from God and prayer would also accompany this. His clients called his massage “healing hand massages.” Some never knew that he was praying for them all through those hands while providing therapeutic massage.
