So sorry to hear of Mr. Alvin’s passing…we have know him for many years…he was always there for us when we had a problem with our appliances…but more important than that..we made a good friend.He love to have conversations about the world and where it was going…he always had good advice…he was a kind and giving man…he had retired from work some time ago but was always ready to lend an ear when we needed help…God bless Mrs. Nell and family…he will be missed..
Nell: so very sorry to hear of Alvin’s passing. We thought so much of Alvin and so sorry we could not be with you at this sad time, I am just getting over breast cancer,finishing up radiation just befor Christmas after two surgeries,then got a terrible chest cold because of the weakness so we have to stay in and cannot be out for fear of being exposed due to my weakened condition, Alvin was so special to my Mom,Florence Burgamy who died a few years back. He was so special we asked him to serve as a pall bearer at her funeral. Please know our heart reaches out to you and if ever we can help,please let us know. Laura and Eddie Cook
