I met Commander Alvin Huff and his Wife at the Central Church of Christ in Durham. He was a Great Brother, and I enjoyed hearing about his experiences from WW 2. He was a Naval Aviator who flew F4U Corsairs off the USS Princeton. He Served his Country, and he served his Lord, Jesus. A very intelligent man, and a man of Compassion. We all miss him at Church assemblies, and remember his words of wisdom. He was an Honor to know him. I know that he now is in the presence of the Lord with his Wife Margaret being in Paradise. RIP Brother Huff.

Dr. Huff was my principal from 1980-86, and I have such fond memories of this kind and caring man. He touched so many lives and will continue to live on in memories and hearts. I pray for comfort and peace for his family.
