Alvin furthered his education and received his MBA from The University of Pittsburgh in 1974. Alvin retired as Business Analyst Manager from Phillip Morris in 2008. He thoroughly enjoyed life and retirement, and he was a true patron for his family, friends, community and The National Kidney Foundation. Alvin was an avid reader who kept up with all current and past events, and he loved all sports.
