Alvin was a hard working man and held several positions over his lifetime including Henry Bickel Construction, Massey Ferguson, Columbia Tire, Osh Kosh, Tecumseh, and Accu Tech where he was head maintenance / assistant production manager.

The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Alvin. He was a jack of all trades and had an uncanny ability to fix anything! Alvin loved to be outdoors and be with his family. During his lifetime he acquired many skills, memories, friends, and passions. The impact he made on so many lives has become his legacy and the life he lived has become his astounding story.
