Our deepest condolences go out to you all during this time of loss and grief. Mr. Alvin was a great example of what a father, husband and family man should be. Although it has been a while since we had last seen him, great people and their character remain in your heart and memories throughout all of time. As our extended family, know that our prayers are going up and God has called home another angel. He was a man that took on responsibilities that others would not have been able to do and received the greatest results that anyone could ask for. To Ms. Leslie, Christopher, Kelly, Veronica, Brad, Philip and Michael; we love you all and may God's blessings and healing come upon you in your greatest time of need.
-Joseph and the Ogle Family

"Our hearts are restless, Lord, until they rest in thee..." -- St. Augustine

I would not have had to read the tributes to Mr. Alvin to know he was a strong man of Faith, because I have been privileged to work along side his wonderful daughter Veronica for a number of years. True Fathers have an advantage over other men. The Light of Christ that they enkindle in their children shines forth to others even after their own passing. Veronica, your incredible Dad will be remembered in the Credo Family Rosary.

Rest in peace old friend, feel the joy that never ends. The golden prize you have won with shining banner waving from the tree of life as you lay upon your shield of honor with lance of truth in hand, rest in peace old friend. Your life may have changed, but not taken away. For your gentle touch and thoughtful words remain attached to family, friends, associates and the hearts of those who loved you best. Although, now you must move on to share God's life. A life that is eternal and transcend all time and space. Rest in peace old friend.

Leslie, the right words are somewhat difficult for me to find at such a heartbreaking moment, but believe me there will come a time when you will see more joy and smiles throughout each day when you reflect upon ALL the great memories you have that no one can take away from you. God truly blessed you with fond memories. Alvin was a great guy! We all have no doubt that he's now doing his best in heaven and will watch closely over you and your family. You will definitely be calling on him from heaven above, maybe even more now, and even for help and intervention with the simplist things. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family. I will forever keep you in my prayers!...Sharon Rachal Taylor (we went to Xavier and worked at OPSB and you taught my son, Jason, in Kindergarten at Ressurection). God will give you the strength you need. Trust in HIM!
