Alfredo was born July 14, 1937 to Luis and Aurora (Perez) Godino in Gonzales, TX. He married Antonia Jimenez on September 21, 1957 in Ft. Morgan, Co. He had a passion for playing baseball. He played in the first semi-pro Mexican League, which was later inducted into the Colorado Baseball Hall of Fame. He was self-educated and taught himself to read and write alongside his children. He loved trucking. He started his own trucking company with his two brothers, Ed and Rudy Godino. He saw every state in the U.S. except for Alaska and Hawaii while driving a truck. As much as he loved trucking, his true love was his family. He loved watching his kids and grandkids play sports all over the panhandle, especially football and baseball. He received no greater joy than watching his great grandchildren play on the floor or in the yard. He was a member of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Booker, TX.
