James Alford Pemberton or " Alford as I used to call him. A great father, grandfather , friend and father in law. That 's what Alford was to me, father in law. I had the privilege to share great times for the past 27 years as I became part of the Pemberton family. He was always ready to give good advice to my two sons Jason and Justin. I admire his strength to overcome challenges despite being hard of hearing. He was a man of faith. He will be forever in my hearth and I will make sure that my boys will always remember their grandfather .
