"I knew Alvin or "Alvie" as most of us from the neighborhood called him from an early age. I can't tell you when I came to know him but I'm guessing it was one of our many hastily arranged ball games we enjoyed in the summer months in the Franklin School area. He was a couple years older than me but as I recall never being picked on like young kids would do back then. I seem to recall him making a silly comment and his brother Keith saying something in return. All the school kids within 2 -3 years age difference knew one another and were often involved in a ball game or fishing. I remained friends with Alvin through the years and would see him now and then. We always had friendly conversations and I enjoyed his company. I will always remember him as a lifelong friend, of the kind that came from your youth and those are the ones that seem to last throughout your lifetime. He was my friend."

"I am with deep sympathy for you and your family at this time. Alvin and I would friends for many years until I moved. I did try to see him again down the road a bit but wasn't able to. He was a good friend and working friend. He will be remembered. Capitola Nau "

"Chad, please accept our deepest sympathy for you and your family in your time of loss. "May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand." In Sympathy, Scott & Maurianna Duncan"
