Alvin J. Townsend Jr.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Townsend, It´s been fourteen years, but Alvin´s memory is clear like it was yesterday for me. I never got a chance to express how truly sorry I am for your family´s loss, or what a great person your son was. I was your student, Mrs. Townsend, and I graduated with Alvin. From 8th grade throughout high school, Alvin was always a friend to me. Though I didn´t see Alvin again after we graduated, I remember his infectious smile, mischievousness, ability to brighten a bad...

Wow it's been ten years . I think of you all the time . Especial when I see your Steelers playing You are so missed .You will always be in my heart

Dear Mrs. Townsend. My name is Johnny M. Riddick, and I went to college with you, graduating from Allentown College in 1978. You may recall that I was roommates with my best friend Demi Turner, who is now a doctor. I am an attorney, and I live in Washington, DC. with my wife of 28 years, Monique. We have two young adult children, Jonathan and Justine. I was attempting to locate an individual with an internet search, and came across your son's obituary. I am so very sorry for your...

To Alvin's family,

I just read the beautiful poem in the Windsor
Heights Herald. No truer words can be spoken. I lost my beloved son, Glenn Sturman
six months before you lost Alvin. Glenn graduated from HHS in 2001. I remembered hearing about the tragic loss of Alvin that
same year. Debbie - as a mom, I certainly know how it gets worse with time - not better - we just miss them more and more.
I am so sorry for your loss and unfortunately I understand.

Wow, I just found out that Alvin passed away. The two-year anniversary of his death was yesterday and I just so happened to see a post on someone's facebook. I am so stunned to learn of this. Alvin and I went to college together. He had such a great personality and was just fun to be around. Him and Ben were always together! The last time I saw Alvin was around 10 years ago at the movies. When he saw me he had a huge smile on his face and gave me a big hug. I will never forget that! ...
