You honored me allowing to be your paralegal at Linden & Deutsch & then Deutsch, Klagsbrun & Blasband.

Your nonjudgmental piety, example and ability to set a valued example and genuine concern made a huge difference in my life. Honestly.

Miss you my friend, my boss, praying for you, Davida & all those you so deeply and brilliantly helped. You, Peggy Lee & all those whom went before: thank you Lord for blessing us with your light & soul.God Bless.

Alvin was a good friend of my brother Bob and that´s how I knew him. When I was working at Sardis in 1964 he gave me tickets to hear Ruggiero Ricci perform in Alice Tully Hall. It was an impetus to my love of good music.

I am very sorry to hear of Alvin's passing. I knew him from his time at Linden and Deutsch, when I worked for the firm's accountants. He was a very, very nice person and an outstanding lawyer, who will be missed. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and colleagues.
