I know that I echo what so many people had already said but I know that fighting for this country is one of the proudest moments in his life. He loved to see young people doing good with their lives. He also loved coming to hunt in Arkansas in the later part of his life. We have lost a great man in the Pearson family. One that will not be easy to replace. We love the Family and want them to know that the Pearsons in Texas and Arkansas love you guys and will be there for you. Bryant & Tosha Pearson and Family

Alfred was a good man who loved his country and most of all, his family. Alfred always put his family first and this cousin admired him for that. Alfred knew the history of his family and country and showed the world how much he loved each. Alfred gave his family wisdom and strength. My heart will miss his large smile and big heart. Love for the Pearson's family from Aunt Doretha Stewart and Debra Stewart Cole
