my dad was not only my father but my best friend. We could sit and talk for hours. He was the jack of all trades.To know my father was to love him and like him. I miss him more and more everyday. His love will always be in our hearts and prayers. I hope the angels know what kind of man they have there with them. And I know if he could my dad would tell us all to live life to the fullest and always remeber he is watch over all of us and will never be fogotten. I remeber when I was 8 years old going to work with him. I remeber there was times my dad would come home tired and worn out, but still find time to play with us and spend time with us. I can never remember my father not being kind to some one.He would always do what he could to help others out . He would always say do un too others as you would like done un too u. So lets all try to do what my father would do if he was here. Lets always try to help others and always make someone smile.

Hey, I did not know Alfred Etling as much as alot of people did, but for the amount of time I spent with him was my best time ever, being able to visit and talk with him, allowed for us to connect, and I wish that I could of been there for him when I could. May he rest in Peace, and may god put his loving and healing hands over the family for the wonderful man they lost. I send my sincere wishes for everyone.
