Unfortunately this is not a joke. :[ I wish it was... I wish i could walk over to his cubicle and see him editing away at com.puter.tv videos, or secretly updating his blog with random shenanigans. Alfred was not only a co-worker, but a friend and dare I say a brother in my eyes. He was a truly compassionate person and I wish you would've had the honor of knowing him.
Here is the story, edited because the News got his name wrong :[
