Alvin owned land very near to us. He visited us many times. My husband knew Alvin for years before we married and I moved here. Alvin was such a wealth of knowledge. He loved his time out in the country staying in his “RV” as he referred to his old camper trailer. He worked SO HARD on his piece of land. Our kids really thought he was the coolest character. I would communicate with him at Christmas every year and he would always write back. He was so proud of our kids’ accomplishments. Then few years ago my letter and card came back marked moved. I suspected he had likely passed away. Our kids were home at Christmas this year and Alvin’s name came up and we were remembering him with affection. So I googled his name which brought me to this site. Deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad and Grandpa. We do miss seeing him as well ❤️ - Posted by: Ben & Lorraine Stenerson (Friend ) on: Jan 01, 2019
