Alvin was a great man, friend and co-worker.
I´ll remember Alvin how he loved life his daughter. Being the best thing in his life. The times growing up working with his dad and everything he learned. Alvin talked about how you could around Charleston to see his dad´s craftsmanship which Alvin was very proud of. I enjoyed listening to Alvin talk about his Dad.
You´ll be missed.
