Carolyn and Jim. So sorry for your loss of that wonderful man Alvin. It broke my heart saying goodbye to Alvin for the last time when we visited him 3 weeks ago. Alvin was a very good friend for many a years back home while we both worked with Day & Ross. Alvin was the type of person that you could have a serious chat with or you could have a good old yarn and a good old laugh with. I will always remember driving your big ol Western Star with CHIPMUNK wrote across the bug deflector. The Western Star is gone and now the CHIPMUNK is gone. Alvin you will always be remembered and the memories will live forever. TONY.
