If there is anything that stood out about Alvin, it's that he would do whatever he could to help someone out. In the 19+ years I've known him he has done much for St. Bernard's Church, and the K of C. It was a very common thing for Alvin to go into a store and strike up a conversation with a stranger in line at the checkout, or tell a corny joke and you couldn't help but smile - or roll your eyes. He has always treated me like part of the family, and even though he was my father in-law I respected and cared about him as I would my own father. I will miss him for a very long time to come, knowing that in time we will meet again. God speed, Alvin, and thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your life.
