Alfred was born in Orange, NJ, and lived in Livingston for much of his early life. He attended Saint Benedict's Prep High School, and was very successful in both academics and athletics. An incredible baseball player, Al received attention from several major league teams. However, he remained a dedicated life-long Yankees fan.
After graduating from Georgetown University, he traveled overseas and went on to become the valedictorian of his class at the University of the Philippines(Manilla) College of Medicine. Returning home, he raised his family and practiced gastroenterology/internal medicine in Millburn, NJ for over 30 years.
Al was an avid hunter, and expert trap shooter. He loved sending away for and collecting various cool new gear. A true cigar aficionado, Al enjoyed grilling and barbecue get-togethers with relatives.
Alfred is survived by his mother Anna Helwig (nee McKinley); his beloved wife Penny Helwig (nee Volpe); loving children Jonathan Helwig and his wife Kaitlyn, and Chase Helwig; and by his brothers Gregory, Noel, Robert and Kyle.
Alfred was loved by everyone who knew him. He will be missed, and remembered fondly forever.
