My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Though I don’t recall meeting him, I probably have at some point. He’s my father’s uncle & namesake. May he rest in peace.
We will miss our neighbor. He has been a presence in our neighborhood for many years, recognized by old and new residents for stopping for a friendly chat during his daily walks. Our deepest sympathy to all his loved ones.
Uncle Alvin, peace will be with you for eternity now. Go in peace.
