Can't believe it has been 4 years ago that my dear friend went to be with our Lord in heaven. There are a very few people who leave an endearing lasting impression on your life but Alvin was one of those people in my life. A hard working rancher who always found ways to survive with his lifelong companion, Francis, in difficult times. And, always had time to sit and tell jokes and laugh about life despite some trying experiences. Will always treasure the football officiating we did together for many years and his calmness on the football field during some very competitive events. A true free-spirit and loving person. God bless him and keep him safe in your heavenly kingdom until we meet again!
