I only knew Alvin for a short time and I enjoyed visiting him and Denise in Oster. He always made me feel welcomed into their home and families. Last time I talked to him I told him and Denise no wild parties to which he replied well we'll try not to. Such a sweet man. To Denise I am so sorry you have lost your husband but he is no longer in any pain, I send you nothing but my love and hugs to you. To Donna, I am sorry you lost your brother, hugs and love to you and Karen. To Sue, you introduced me to your Dad and I am extremely proud to say your Dad was always kind and generous to me. You are always in my heart and I send love, hugs and the wonderful, happy memories of you and your Dad. Thank you for the time I got to know him and honored to be among the many that knew him. To Rick, Kerry, Kalli and Stone hugs and my love to you. Remember the laughter and memories you made with amazing man. RIP Al you are a gentle giant to many.
