So sorry to hear about the passing of Alvie. Alvie was my brother in law 50 years ago. He was married to my Sister Elaine. We all loved Alvie especially Mom and Dad. His parents were very sweet. I remember spending a few nights with Darlene. Today I will start laughing when I hear a song in the sixties that he was always belting out. I also remember going to Matagorda with them.. I know he will be missed.
Sending Prayers

Dad talked about your Sister, all the time…through out the years. We believe he never got over her passing and it shaped him into the man he was. I remember him taking us (Kali & I ) to your parents home when we were young for a Easter visit. We were around 8 or 9 years old. Kali is named after your Sister. Kali Elaine.
