To the Alofs Family:
I had the privilege of working for Alofs Manufacturing after it was sold but while Fernley was still there as VP of Sales.
I was very appreciative of how thoughtful he was and how much he enjoyed the interaction with his employees. He gave me much insight into the company and I was very appreciative of those chats we had.
A kind and considerate man.
With profound sympathy for your loss.
