Alvin H. Trimble

DELAWARE — Alvin H. Trimble, 86, of Delaware passed away peacefully Saturday morning, January 26, 2019 at the Country Club Retirement Center in Delaware, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born November 30, 1932 in Johnson County, Kentucky to the late Thurman and Mildred (Caudill) Trimble. He graduated from Brown High School in Kilbourne and the Columbus Business School. He went on to proudly serve his country during the Korean War as a member of the United States Air Force. On June 3, 1961, he married the love of his life Virginia Owen. Together they celebrated over 57 years of marriage.

Alvin retired from Ohio Wesleyan University after 30 years as a carpenter supervisor. He attended Millcreek Church of Christ. An avid OSU Buckeye football and basketball fan, he also loved watching his grandson play basketball. In his younger years, he enjoyed playing basketball and golf himself. He also enjoyed his John Deere tractor and making cookies. He was the official Trimble family Christmas cookie maker.

His true joy was spending time in his workshop. As an avid woodworker, give him a hammer, a nail, and some wood and he could make almost anything.

Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife, Virginia; son, Brad (Dolores) Trimble of Delaware; daughter, Kim (Dana) Davis of Delaware; cherished grandson, John David Trimble; brother, Gene (Ann) Trimble of Marion; sister-in-laws, Twila Trimble and Renee Scott, both of Delaware; numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and a host of cousins also survive.
