My heart goes out to you and the whole family at this time. No words can be said that will lessen the pain and loss you are feeling. Hold fast in your hearts the special memories that you all have of the amazing man Alvin was. The world has lost a good man with a kind heart and I feel priviledged to have had the opportunity to have known Alvin. I will always remember his smile, laughter and the care and compassion he had for all.

Over the years he was always quick to come over to greet us, his big laugh and stories will be missed. He loved to see everyone's rides and his red rocket was his pride and joy. Big guy with such a big personality will be missed at all the drag race tracks in Alberta.

Hi Louise: So sorry to hear you have lost your husband Alvin. Even though I didn't know him, I have heard a lot of good things about him. We still live in the same house, in the crescent where Chappell's used to live.

I only knew Al about a year and a half as my neighbor in High River where he had his man cave shop where he worked and played with his race car and his other amazing classics that he had a passion for . Spend many hours talking about stuff and learned a lot for him , Al was as cool as a guy can get and loved his personality a one of a kind hands down .
