I am Alvin's Grandaughter and I just want to say that I love my Papa and he will forever be missed. But I know that he is with Jesus now!
Thank you Papa for being such a good man and passing that down to your grandchildren!

He has passed but will not be forgotten by his Central Union High School Classmates and Friends. His name as been placed in the "in memory" section on our web site www.centralfresno.com.

Alvin was a good neighbor and long time friend of Mel and Louise Deaile. The ol' neighborhood is passing away and it will never be replaced - these were all good honest hard working people. Our sympathies to his family.
