Alvin Lee Duskin

What an impact Alvin had on San Francisco, his beloved family, his colleagues, and his friends. He is remembered and honored by us all.

RIP Mr. Duskin. I do remember you as a classmate Balboa High School, SF.

I am sorry for your loss but must add that it sounds like he had a good long life and a beautiful family. Bless
