In 1967, he started Gieck Construction with his three sons. While he enjoyed hunting and fishing, his passion was building and remodeling houses. He was the perfect example of “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” ― Mark Twain. The Gieck Construction crew could build a house from framing to finishing with skills they learned from Alfred. The little town of Matheson has many houses remodeled by Alfred and sons. When he looked at a decrepit house, he would say, “Let’s do it up right.” That’s the only way he knew to do something “the right way.” Alfred didn’t really look forward to a day off until they built the family cabin in Breckinridge. With all the kids and grandkids, he didn’t get much peace and quiet, but enjoyed watching John Wayne movies and eating delicious meals through all the commotion.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother Donald; his sister Edith Fiscus; brothers-in-law Louis Watson, Jim Nawyn, and Verlan Fiscus; and his oldest son Bobby.
