                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2006

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker I rise today in honor of Mr. William 
``Bill'' Carney Alfred who died at his residence following health 
complications on Monday, April 3, 2006.
  Many were touched by Bill's dedication, concern for others, and 
enthusiasm for life. Bill was a proud member of St. Patrick's Catholic 
Church and the Loyal Order of Moose #1976 in Weston, West Virginia. For 
many years, Bill worked at the Kroger Company in Weston before retiring 
as head of the produce department. Bill truly made a difference in many 
lives and will be fondly remembered by the many people he touched with 
his kindness. We are fortunate to have had him as our friend.
  I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to the Alfred, Rafferty, and 
Carney families during this difficult time. He is survived by one 
brother, John Kilker Carney of Springfield, VA, and by many loving 
cousins, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. We are never 
prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to 
help us through that loss. I pray your own faith and fondest memories 
will give you strength and comfort during such a trying time.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognition of the 
life of Mr. William Carney Alfred.
