A proud U.S. Marine, he served during Vietnam from 1966-1972, and was a recipient of the Purple Heart, and Bronze Star, he served his country with courage and quiet strength.
Alvin was a proud father and grandfather. He was steady, dependable, and showed his love through his actions more than his words. His family always knew they could count on him.
He was a simple, straightforward man who believed in doing what was right. He would help anyone in need and never asked for anything in return. What you saw was what you got, honesty and loyalty.
He will be deeply missed and remembered for the strength, integrity, and love he gave to those around him.
