Joseph Alfirevich, 90, of Homer Glen, was born on January 5, 1934, and passed away peacefully on February 10, at the age of 90. Affectionately known throughout his life as “Alfee,” he was the long-time owner of Apple Chevrolet in Tinley Park.

As Alfee's dealership business grew, so did his responsibilities to the auto industry he loved. He served on the board of directors for the Chicagoland and NW Indiana Chevrolet Dealers Association from 1985 to 1998 where he was also elected vice president of the group’s advertising association (LMA). Additionally, he was a board member of the Illinois Automobile Dealers Association (IADA) from 1989 to 2013, serving as the organization’s Chairman in 1997.

Joe’s son, John (also affectionately known as “Alfee”), has taken over as owner of Apple Chevrolet and continues his father’s legacy. John Alfee was a former CATA Board Member and follows in his father’s footsteps as current IADA Chairman.
