My brother and I were just punks trying to make connections in the produce industry and you were one of the first people who believed in us. You took us in like family and showed us the ropes while busting our balls on prices, but we loved every moment of it.
Whether it be Mojitos in Miami or a top notch NY Italian restaurant that i would brag to buddies about back home, you always provided a laugh, great attitude, and heart on your sleeve.
I hope this picture posts, cause it’s the first place I met you in person and you made this crazy spot somewhere to look forward to cause I’d see you, and that’s Huntspoint. They should have a statue built here in your honor.
Rest in Peace Alfie. Whenever we met you always had a smile and a hug for me. No matter how busy, you took the time to chat, usually about the microgreens, so proud when we went into the refrigerated area and like children always named each one for me.... moreRest in Peace Alfie. Whenever we met you always had a smile and a hug for me. No matter how busy, you took the time to chat, usually about the microgreens, so proud when we went into the refrigerated area and like children always named each one for me. Your offer of anything I wanted, while turned down, always sent me on my way with a piece of something. Alfie was the real deal. Hard work, genuine caring and apologetic for constantly adding badge names for the New York Produce Show. No big deal, I said, but Alfie had to have his way. His proudest moment with me was when he introduced me to his son Charlie. That has clearly stuck in my mind. I am glad our paths crossed.
Alfie was such a special person. The first time we met, he made me an espresso at the coosemans office. He took so much pride in the special coffee (which was among the best I ever had!).

He took so much pride in the special coffee (which was among the best I ever had!). Since then, we had lunches where we talked about avocados and Italian food, we toasted at PMA parties, and even enjoyed some baseball games. The family dinners after the NY Produce Show were always a very special invitation. I am sending so much love to everyone grieving his loss.

I will never forget how big your heart was. I will never forget what you have taught me. I will never forget the love you showed me. Your presence is and surely will be forever missed. I can't believe you're gone...way too soon. You will forever be in my heart and on my mind. Love you Malapaka!!! Rest in eternal Peace Big Bro!!! less
