Alfred Edward Cartier, Jr., 86, of Redford, Michigan passed away on July 29, 2020.
Alfred was born in Detroit on December 13, 1933 to Barbara and Alfred E. Cartier, Sr. After graduating high school he served in an Army intelligence unit in Germany, during the Korean War. Upon completing his duty in the Army, Alfred returned home to his family, friends and most importantly, his sweetheart Janet Wilhelm. They married on July 7, 1956 and were married for 63 years.
