I miss grandaddy. He was very wise and a God fearing man. He grew on me in time I knew him. He was kind, loving, giving. I miss our conversations he always knew what to say in times of need. My memories of him will never fade. I love him and glad to see him before his home going I love you and until we meet again kisses and hugs.

To Ms. Eleanor and Family. I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Alvin was a very personable and outgoing person. I am going to miss seeing the two of you at the Amish Market so he could get you some chicken and cheese. The two of you made such a lovely couple and you could tell that you loved each other. May GOD wrap his loving arms around you and your family during this time. He is your strength and will help you get thru this. RIP Mr. Alvin. Ann Hackley

We were so blessed knowing Alvin for many years, meeting the Grahams at church even though you moved your friendship and love never left. We truly loved Alvin, considered him a brother, and Eleanor a sister. Alvin had a heart of a servant, a gentle spirit that always drew you near to him. We could count on him to always pray and council and any given time. He truly showed the fruits of the holy spirit in his life. Eleanor my heart is sad for you and your children, as I know you will miss him so very much. May the Holy Spirit give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
I do rejoice as he is with Jesus and no longer suffering. I would pray fervently for Alvin, I guess you can say he got the perfect healing as God called him home. We will meet again in perfect bodies and rejoice together again. Warm embraces to Eleanor, Michelle, Alvin Jr. We love you too, but you know that. Leona & Bud

I was saddened to hear of your loss. Please know how very sorry I am. May God's love make your grief bearable. When someone you love dies you never quite get over it. You just slowly learn how to go on without them. So always keep Alvin tucked safely in your hearts. All of the family are in my prayers and my heart.

I have had he honor and pleasure of working with Alvin in the 80s and 90s. He was a model of modesty and dignity, and the news of his passing makes me sad about the withering of a generation that has set a direction, dd the pioneering work, but it is far from clear that the current generation has the dedication and passion to continue with the monumental task.
