Alvin is survived by his brother Leonard; sister Bev; nephew Brent; nieces Pricilla; Bonnie, and Gwen. Alvin is also survived by his step-children and grandchildren: Lucienne and Denis (Ron and Ray), Adelle and Denis (Mark, Tracy, Bradley and Nathan), Lilliane (Deanna), Doris and Guy (Kritina, Michelle and Jay), Bob and Suzanne (Andrea, Adam, and Erin).
Alvin attended school in a one room country school near Earl Grey. After graduating from high school, Alvin attended the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. He received a degree in Pharmacy in 1956.
After receiving his degree, Alvin bought the Rexall drug store in Ponteix and was the local pharmacist, and held the contract for STC/ Greyhound bus lines until he retired in 2003.
Alvin married Marguerite Stringer August 31, 1985. Alvin moved from his suite above the Rexall Drug Store to their home on Centre Street in Ponteix. Alvin took great pride in the vegetables he grew in their garden, and keeping their yard looking pristine. In the 1990’s, Alvin decided that he missed his farming heritage so together, Alvin and Marguerite bought land south of Ponteix and become farmers once again. Together, Alvin and Marguerite took a Caribbean cruise, a Hawaiian Islands cruise, trips to Mexico, Nevada and Arizona, as well as trips to Regina, Choiceland, North Battleford, Portreeve, and Hanna to visit family and Saskatoon to attend U of S class reunions. Alvin enjoyed curling and golfing. He was a regular at coffee row, meeting with the locals in the morning before opening the store, mid-morning and midafternoon wherever that might be, Jens café, Mountain Boy, or the Ponteix bakery. Alvin and Marguerite enjoyed 32 years together before Marguerite died in 2017.
Alvin was an active member of the community. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, a board member for the Foyer St Joseph, member of the Ponteix T.V club, and Treasurer for the United Church in Ponteix.
After Marguerite died, Alvin resided in his home on Centre Street in Ponteix until 2020 when his health started failing and the world was in the midst of a pandemic. Alvin left his home in Ponteix to live with Bob and Suzanne at Lac Pelletier. While living at Lac Pelletier, Alvin was able to experience life as a grandfather as there were frequent weekend visits from grandkids, and great-grand kids that involved playing checkers and X’s and O’s, Easter egg painting and birthday parties, as well as fish fries and bonfires. When all the Covid restrictions were lifted, Alvin made the decision to move into the care home in Ponteix where he lived until he died. Alvin was always thankful for the care that he received at the Foyer St Joseph, and the visits from friends and family that helped make the days more interesting.
Prayer services will be held at Notre Dame d’Auvergne Catholic Church in Ponteix on Saturday June 15, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be at the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Ponteix where Alvin will be laid to rest beside his wife Marguerite.
