He went on to further his education at the North Dakota State College of Science in the auto body field. Shortly after this, Alfred was drafted into the United States Army for two years and served his country in Vietnam as a paramedic paratrooper.

Always one to stay busy, Alfred worked for local farmers landing his last career at Ward Farms for over 30 years, retiring in 2016.

Alfred was an avid outdoorsman; he looked forward to hunting trips with family and friends and spending time at the lake. Alfred was a member of the VFW, American Legion, Pheasants Forever Club, Wild Turkey Foundation, Elks and Deer Hunter Association, and the NRA.
