RIP Alvin!! Even though we did not talk everyday, I thought of you often. Knowing you were there when I needed you was a comfort I no longer have. You were the perfect gentleman. A gentle giant. It was a blessing to know you. I pray peace and comfort for your family.

I worked with Alvin on the Mobile Crisis Team. We all handled some very difficult situations together. I would go anywhere with Alvin to help with any kind of crisis. He was as compassionate as he was able to keep people safe! He is missed and many prayers go out to his family and loved ones. Wendy Martinez Schneider

I have know Alvin and Ms. Inell since the 70,s when we worked under Carrie and Josephine Hill. I even worked with Alvin in the mental health area at Grady when he drove the van. Alvin was a nice quiet guy who didn't speak much. He was the joy of his mom she spoke of him often when we worked on the 6th floor. God has called one of his best home to him. I Pray that God will be with you all during this time.
