ALFRED DIGGS -- East Preston Dies




Alfred Diggs, 73, East Preston passed away on Wednesday, March 4, 2006. He was born March 20, 1932 in East Preston and was the son of the late Joseph and Stella (James) Diggs. I met Alffie went I work in East Preston with the Combined Insurance Company of America and every six months I would visit him and his lovely wife, Elizabeth "Ollie" Clayton. Whenever in East Preston I made it a point to visit both of them. They were my dear friends and I will greatly miss Alffie's humor and hospitality. There will never be another Alffie Diggs.

My condolences to his entire family and to Ollie in particular who knows I too will always think of Alffie.
