Alfred Greenwalt, 90, peacefully passed away November 8, 2017. He was born September 15, 1927 to David and Mollie Greenwalt in Greeley, Colorado, where they lived and farmed for many years. He met his life-long partner, Lorain Rossman and married on January 15, 1947.

In 1954, Alfred & Lorain moved, with a caravan of other family members and friends, to Quincy, Washington to begin their farming life in the new Columbia Basin.

Alfred was a respected member of the Quincy community, serving on the Port Commission from 1983 to 1995. A dedicated farmer for over 50 years, he grew potatoes, corn and sugar beets. He was a member of the Saint Paul Lutheran Church for 62 years and a Lion’s Club member. Well known for sharing a joke and having a good laugh, Alfred always said “I’ve never met a stranger”. People always seemed to enjoy being around such a good man. One of his favorite past times was people watching at the mall while Lorain shopped. Frequently he could be found working on his 1954 Chevy pickup. And of course he was always ready for a driving adventure, whether it was cross country or to the corner store.

Alfred’s survivors include his wife of over 70 years, Lorain, and their 3 children, Susan Wilson (Greg), Gerald Greenwalt (Sandee), and Judi Godfrey. They also have 3 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Don, and recently by son-in-law Brien Godfrey.

A celebration of his life service will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 716 3rd Ave. SE, Quincy, Washington. Luncheon to follow.
