He was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and his favorite duty was being stationed in Alaska.

Alvin met life with faith and a smile on his face. He believed that life is good! He was very close to and appreciated his immediate and extended family and great friends throughout the years. He enjoyed “road trips with Jo”, walking in the woods, and helping his daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. He also enjoyed Illini Football, Cardinal baseball, gardening, fishing, his coffee group and cardiac rehab group, his special friends who came to see him and take him places, and all of the angels, both male and female, at Walker Nursing Home.

Graveside services held at Walnut Ridge Cemetery in Virginia.
