Alvin Sr. was the kind of man that could walk into a room and talk to anyone like he has been knowing them for years. He was the kind of man that walked by his Catholic Faith. He would drop what he was doing to help people in need. He was always on the go to find something to do and never stopped. No matter how many times he was knocked down he stood up dusted himself off and tried again. He was stubborn and persistently…. Or persistently stubborn.
