Alvin was born on July 28, 1938, to the late George Richard and Lily Robeson Green. He was also preceded in death by his brothers, Linton Green and Gregg Green; and sisters, Alda Huntley and Gail Green.

Alvin was a lifelong resident of Buncombe Co. Throughout his years, he worked various jobs and made lots of friends. Alvin never met a stranger. He was a member of Mt. Sheba Baptist Church. He enjoyed spending time with friends and family. Though wild in his younger days, Alvin grew into a family man who enjoyed fishing and camping at Lake Douglas, watching his grandchildren grow and spending time with his loving wife.
The family would like to thank Four Seasons Hospice for all of their compassion and care during the past few months. Special appreciation to Beth Richard, RN, Beth T., RN, and Donnie Bledsoe, FNP, for all of their support to Alvin and the family.
