Alvin was born in Weyburn on February 18, 1944 where he resided until his passing. Alvin worked at the OK Economy store in Weyburn for over 30 years as a produce manager until its closing at which time he retired. Alvin had a passion for music and was a very gifted piano player. He spent many years as the pianist at the Bethel Evangelical Church. Even though Alvin faced many struggles through much of his life, he maintained a passion for children, particularly his nieces and nephew and had a soft heart for animals. Alvin had countless pets throughout his life and each one had a special place in his heart. Alvin loved decorating, particularly at Christmas when he had the whole house lit up. Alvin was a quiet man who lived an independent life, especially the past few years following the passing of his mother. Alvin's memory will live on with his family through the numerous stories told by those who knew him best. At Alvin's request there will be no funeral service.
