Mr. Perez experienced many challenges and injustices, he along with his family became involved with the UFW (United Farm Workers). They participated with Cesar Chaves in boycotts and marches for many years. "Si Se Puede" – "Yes You Can". He taught his children to work hard, respect people and manage money wisely.

In the past few years, "Don" Alfredo was admitted into a senior care facility where he became an inspiration on social media (Facebook, Instagram) in his mid-90's. He had various health issues but that did not stop him from spreading joy and laughter. Alfredo aka "El Rey" made every day a blessing by spreading cheer. He loved making people smile by wearing festive holiday attire and singing his little heart out as he pushed himself in his wheelchair. He was the VIP with the Activity department and often the life of the party. His spirit and infectious smile will be missed tremendously. Alfredo loved singing, gardening, painting, coloring, art projects, dancing and attending church service.

He is survived by his wife Sofia , sons Daniel, Sylvester, Lucio, daughter Adelaida, and many loving extended family members.
