Flosser Friedhofswärter Alfred Jakob lässt die Arbeit mit 96 Jahren endlich ruhen

Der Flosser Alfred Jakob wird im Juni 97 Jahre alt. Er war Soldat, Schuhmacher, Bauarbeiter und Lagerist. Daneben kümmerte er sich um den Friedhof. Sein Rezept für ein langes Leben: Arbeit und Ehrenamt.

von Christine Walbert

Alfred Jakob erlebt den evangelischen Friedhof nur mehr als Besucher. Über 50 Jahre lang hat er sich um die Anlagen gekümmert. Mit fast 97 Jahren hat er sich den Ruhestand nun redlich verdient.
