We didn't know they could sing back then, we just had a lot of fun being kids. I just found out they were not with us anymore. May our Lord continue to watch and keep their families.<br /><br />Minister Michael BuckinghamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17016961.post-2283434920275000682012-02-03T03:20:04.670+00:002012-02-03T03:20:04.670+00:00I too was completely stunned upon learning of Alfr...I too was completely stunned upon learning of Alfred's death. I've known him since I was a teenager and he was my first real "love"...we went to the movies together, "slow dragged" to their hit "You Send Me" in the dining room of my apartment and I had dinners at his home with his family. I knew little "Demo" and Wanda...I'm sure they have children-possibly even grandchildren of their own by now. I sent condolences as soon as I found out....WAY after the fact in 2011. The family still resides in Garfield Heights, Ohio in the same lovely home. I wish I knew how he passwd away. How utterly heartbreaking and hurtful this news was for me. Like one of their songs said "I just can't forget the first day we met....I remember you".<br /><br />Humbly Submitted,<br /><br />Cathee WillisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17016961.post-72623578246225708722009-10-10T17:07:35.953+01:002009-10-10T17:07:35.953+01:00i really miss alfred, he's one cool dude all g...i really miss alfred, he's one cool dude all girls, black and white can count on. but i read on drew hamilton's article that either he or alvin has emotional problems. i have been to hell and back just to think of who i REALLY am. i'd been there too. i really missed him like i missed my grandma,she passed on august 19th. to all the condolences for the pelham family-jesus never forsakes us. im a songwriter and community activist, i know jesus will have singing praises. thank you. n.d. hughes goldsboro,ncAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
