My heart goes out to Allen and his family and friends at the Ranch. Allen was a gentleman with a warm smile, a friendly greeting and a twinkle in his eyes. Oh how we miss you. God bless you Allen.

To Al's family, my deepest sympathies. He was a true gentleman you could rely on to make you feel welcomed. He danced like a dream, had love in his heart, and will be missed by his many friends and dance partners at the Ranch. I'm thankful to have known him for many years and that he was able to do what he loved right up to the minute God brought him home. His smile and the good memories will remain with us forever.
Peace,

Like a butterfly you danced in the light with joy and love lifted you. As you brushed against this world so gently, you lifted us. I feel blessed to have had Uncle Al in my life-a great uncle and a great friend. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. I will treasure the memories forever and will miss him so much!

Alvin,
You were truly a great lifetime friend. I will miss our lunches at the city club every month and all the jokes and phone calls. You were a man of integrity,honesty and loyalty and a major loss to my world. Goodbye Alvin, for now!!!

To Barbie, Tammi Fay & Sherri,
Alvin had a special place in all our lives. He had a love for his family and friends, a relationship with Jesus. He inherited the Firestone humor through osmosis! He will be missed but thank God we can say "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Thank God for his true faith. He always talked about his kids and granddaughter with such fondness. His granddaughter was the apple of his eye. We love you and we'll be praying for you. God bless.

To the dear Fanter family,
Our deepest condolences and prayers are with you. "Alvin" loved the Lord Jesus and loved the life God gave him. Now he dances in heaven with the angels! God bless you all!
