Had Alvin for a bus driver for many years. What a great guy.

Your dad was an inspiration me as a young kid that did not always fit in. Because your dad really tried to be a help to whomever needed it.

Sorry for your loss. My family went to the same church.

Dear Tim And Doug, Your Mom And Dad Were Faithful In Their Walk With Jesus All The Days Of Their Lives. God Bless You And Hug You Tight. We Have So Many Fond Memories Of Your Parents And The Johnson'S Too. We Will Keep You In Our Prayers. Love Betty And Paul Koehn, And Diane Koehn Novak

We loved Alvin as a neighbor and friend. He was a great, he helped us with his tractor many times. He was a perfect neighbor and I'm sure he and Ione are happy together in heaven.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Alvin. We enjoyed having him in our office. May God give you all the peace and comfort now and the days to follow. God Bless, Dr. Michael Kelley and staff, Karen and Cheri

Tim & Doug, I moved to Rockford from Grand Rapids in the summer of 1968,Your Dad was my Bus driver that fall up until I graduated in 1974. After many years my place of employment left for Mexico and I went for retraining and got a CDL-A. I took a Bus Driving job for Cedar Springs Schools. I thought of Your Dad many times over the Years that I drove for them and what an impression He had on Us students. We were a wild bunch but Your Dad was so Cool and knew how to deal with Us, He knew when...

Tim and Doug Your dad was my bus driver for many years what a wonderful man. My thoughts are with you at this time. May God keep you in his arms at this time. God Bless Pat Hartman
