He also enjoyed reading on a vast array of subjects, watching classic movies, mind-challenging puzzles, and cooking for his Army of One. He was also an avid Packer fan. Alvin was the real type of person to tell you the truth, straight-up. He was direct, precise, and long-remembered by those he met, knew, and worked with. You knew where you stood with Alvin. He left a deep impression long remembered. Alvin was firm in his faith in Jesus Christ, and devoted many hours reading and studying his King James Version Bible. Alvin worked for the National Indian Council on Aging at the Elderly Services Gift Shop with the Oneida Tribe of Indians. He also worked in the Oneida Casino as a beverage server. In years past, Alvin worked with the Central States (SER) Program in Chicago as a graphic artist. Alvin was someone who was greatly loved by many.
