Obituary

Alfred Suhr passed away April 4, 2023 at the age of 98 at Seward, Nebraska.  Alfred was born October 24, 1924 at Seward, Nebraska to Henry and Ingke (Duer) Suhr.  He was baptized November 15, 1924 and confirmed April 10, 1938 at Immanuel, Staplehurst.  Alfred graduated from Staplehurst High School in 1940.  On June 2, 1946 Alfred married Eunice Hansen.  They were engaged in farming and also raised cattle and hogs.  In addition, Alfred started a commercial trucking business, hauling livestock to the Omaha Stockyards and local sale barns.  He also served as a volunteer fireman for the Staplehurst Fire Department for 25 years.  Alfred loved sports – played baseball and softball and loved coaching (especially his sons) and umpiring youth baseball in Staplehurst.
