Alfred has gone to a place where the sun always shines, the road is wide open, and there is a warm breeze on his face riding his Gold Wing.

Alfred retired as a toolmaker from General Electric Co. with 32 years of service. After retirement, Alfred and Onie traveled the United States multiple times in their motorhome with motorcycle in tow, visiting forty-nine states and all of the Canadian Provences. When they tired of the road, they spent their winters in Winter Garden, Florida. Alfred was a charter and lifetime member of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) Chapter A.
Alfred is survived by his wife of 65 years, daughter Marjorie Barone and her husband Tom of East Wallingford and son Kevin Bumps of Mount Holly. He was the proud "Bumpa" of eight grandchildren, Stephen Bruckner, Mark Barone, Jesse LaFrancis, Chris LaFrancis, Ryan LaFrancis, Brent LaFrancis, Peter Bumps, and Vanessa Bumps and eight great-grandchildren.
