Dear Ruth and family,
I'm Keith and Phyllis Patrick's daughter. My sister, Charmian, told me about the passing of Alvin.Please accept my sincerest sympathies at the loss of your dear husband and father. I have such good memories of you and your family when we lived on Murray Street. Alvin was such a nice man and a very talented woodworker. I know that my parents considered you to be such wonderful friends.
With deep sympathy, Janet MacNeil

On behalf of Branch 71 of The Royal Canadian Legion, we are saddened by the passing of Alvin. He was a very proud WWII veteran and a loyal Branch member for over 37 years ! On another note, he was also my uncle. Always a friendly face and very well known for all of the hobbies he mastered . He will be missed by so many !

Our sincere condolences on Alvin's passing. Another strong voice for that Heavenly choir. Linda and I were priviledged to know him, and to sing with him in the Fort Erie Community Chorale for many years. Our thoughts and prayers for all the family. Linda and Ric Gorham

Hello, I'm Bill Ebert's youngest daughter, Carol (Ebert) Graham. So sorry to hear of the passing of Alvin. I remember all those Knoll family picnics in Fort Erie that he went to where we played games of golfing marshmallows, kick the shoe and water balloon toss. I've been trying to find a picture of that time, but never came across a good one. Group pictures dating back before the digital age are really hard to distinguish who is who!
I won't be able to make it in for the funeral service, but wanted to send our condolences from my mom (Madeline Ebert - she turned 100 this year), and my sisters Betty and Shirley.
Take care,
Carol

Alvin was truly a kind person. He had many talents from wood working to repairing machinery to giving advice and playing music on his violin or harmonica.I'm going to miss sitting in his living room listening to his stories about delivering milk with a horse and buggy , Erie Beach days and I think he knew every bird known to man. Alvin was a genuinely nice man and I will never forget him. Thanks for the memories Alvin. Rest in peace.
