Alvin was by far my favourite Uncle, I remember as a child whenever he saw me sucking my thumb ( a habit i still have ) he would sathat if I gave it up he would buy be a gold dummy ! Bless him, this was a habit I have never broke but I am sure if I had he would have stuck to his promise ! I will misss Alvin always and feel blessed to have know him and to have had him in my life. xxxxxxx
