Alfred George Brejcha was born on a farm two miles north of Western, Nebraska to Alfred F. and Anna E. (Homolka) Brejcha on February 21, 1927.  He attended Western Public School and following graduation, he worked with his parents on the family farm.  Alfred had four siblings, sisters, Mary Ann and Erma Jean, a brother, Rollen Dale and an infant brother who passed at birth.  Alfred joined the U.S Army in 1944, serving the conclusion of World War II and continuing onto the start of the Korean Conflict.  Alfred returned home from his service in 1945 to live and work on the farm.  In 1951, Alfred met the love of his life, Joan Adare Lindstrom at the Play-Mor Ballroom.  They were united in marriage on August 31, 1952, in Gresham.  To this union five children were born, Jean A, Alfred P., William R., John T. and Rodney D. 

Al and Jo enjoyed farming together until he retired in 1991.  Following their retirement, they enjoyed many trips together.  Especially trips showing their collection of antique engines at numerous shows throughout the US including many at Camp Creek in Nebraska and Cottonwood Springs in Arizona.  Al and Jo also enjoyed hosting and attending many family holidays and birthdays.  Al especially looked forward to a good game of Euchre with his granddaughter.  Alfred embraced and passed on his Czech heritage to his family through many of his activities in life which included making rohliky, koloches, kraut and dumplings, singing, playing polkas and enjoying a good pivo.  He was proud to be an inspiration for his granddaughter who became the York Czech Queen in 2014-15.  Alfred would often say he was a "Jack of all trades, but a master of none".  Al and Jo enjoyed working together in the wood shop, going on camping trips, restoring antique engines, and just traveling to see friends and family.  He will be fondly remembered for wearing his John Deere suspenders and taking advantage of his parking pass sign reserved for "John Deere Tractors Only".  Alfred was proud of his children and grandchildren and all of their accomplishments over the years.
