I can't believe it's been five years already. My husband Chuck has been gone seven years and I know that Alvin was one of his all time favorite people. Alvin was a giant of a man, kind to all and was especially kind to my husband. If he could help you out, Alvin would do so in a heartbeat. Rest in Peace my friend. Sharon Marcucci

Linda and Bob Nachtrieb

What a man! Two consecutive careers, each longer than most of us, with just one, work! Still selling insurance into his nineties. Standing straight and tall like a man fifty years younger. An endless repertoire of stories and jokes and unmatched skill in repartee. He was a delight to be with. More importantly, cheerful and welcoming to all. And still more importantly, unwavering and rock-steady physical, emotional, and financial support to those in need. The world would be a better place if we were all just half as generous as he. Our hearts go out to Adele, cut from the same giving and loving cloth as Alvin, and who stood by him for eight decades, and to everyone else in the marvelous McCormick clan. We miss him dearly.
