Alvin attended Trenton High School. He was rather talented, supporting himself in many different employment opportunities including construction. Alvin was strong willed with a great sense of humor. He was quite the jokester and you were special to him if he had given you a unique nick name. Family was most important to Alvin, he especially enjoyed his weekly visits with his grandson and shooting pool or playing cards with his friends. As an avid outdoorsman, Alvin loved to hunt and fish. As a huge Pro Wresting Fan he could be found watching his favorite wrestlers on the WWE Network. In his quiet time, Alvin enjoyed his relaxing naps.
