So sorry to hear of Alvin's passing. My memories of him are good ones - both in elementary school and in church during our growing-up years. May his family take solace in the fact that he was such a fine person and that he now resides in our Heavenly Home. Love to you all - Peggie Watson Critzer

My deepest sympathies. I spent many summers with Uncle Alvin and Aunt Patsy at their home in Havre de Grace. They made me feel so very loved - I couldn't wait to get there! So many, many wonderful memories. I will miss Uncle Alvin's gentleness and kindness and how he said my name, unlike anyone else. My deepest sympathies. Love, Charlene
